I have listed 5 lots of NEW heavy duty antenna wire on ebay.
Please cleck on this link to see the listings and pictu http://search.ebay.com/heavy-duty-an...sortpropertyZ1 I ship worldwide. Thanks, Bill Bill, The claims you make about this wire don't sound right. Stranded wire does emulate a conductor with the same, or slightly larger, diameter. However, the increased, self-shielding surface area is very prone to oxidation via mositure. Ergo the conductivity decreases somewhat over time. You compare to #14 wire, which is fairly thin in this application. Perhaps you should compare to a solid conductor of the same diameter, such as #10? Stranded wire is used on LF and VLF transmitters because it is economically impractical to make wire with very wide diameters. However, it is not the STRANDING of the wire that's important, per se, but the overall diameter. It's a good product, but the reasons you state for buying it don't make sense to me. Perhaps you have some data that shows superior gain and bandwidth of stranded copper compared to regular copper of the same diameter? I am not familiar with any measurable differences in the apps you target. Kindly fill us in if I am wrong. I fear your potential buyers might assume substantial increases in gain and bandwidth from your comments on the description, when, in fact, little benefit , if any, is attained. 73, Chip N1IR |
