I am going to build an inverted V for 80 and 40 meters. I will be

about 700 watts into it. What gauge wire should I use and should it be
stranded or solid core for best performance and power handling?

Thanks!

Hi Cal,
Go to Home Depot or Lowes and you can buy a 500 foot spool of # 14 for
about 24 bucks. Thats what I use and it works quite well. get the
stranded type it's stronger.
