Greetings:
Today, while perusing the wares at a local marine outfitting store, I came upon 300 foot reels of 20ga. 7-strand copper wire intended for use as "fishing cable". The price is roughly 6.7 cents/foot and the sample I was given appeared to be no different from wire sold for electrical purposes except for the very tight twist and strong tensile strength. To me it looks like great antenna wire at a good price in view of the copper bubble. I don't have a milliohmmeter so I cannot conduct conductivity tests other than to say that a few inches of it zeros a DMM. Has anyone used this material? Regards, Michael |
