What's the best wire for a wire and size antenna operating on 3413 8843
5574 13354 "2mhz thru 30mhz" Using a 706MKIIG & SGC 237 Tuner.


If you're stretching out a long antenna, then copperweld wire (copper-clad
steel) may be the way to go.
But best by the pocketbook would be 14ga THHN, which comes in handy 500ft
reels.
Copperweld has the strength, and it WILL put a nick in your wirecutters.
