Default Why do balun builders always use "enameled" wire?



Why do balun builders always use "enameled" wire? Won't regular
electrical insulated copper wire like they sell at Lowes or Home Depot
work? Since copper is copper what is the benefit of enameled wire
over other types of insulated wire? Also is there a benefit of using
solid copper wire over stranded copper wire to build a balun?
