Hey, thanks for the quick response RHF.
I'm also thinking about putting up a random wire antenna.
Exactly how do you attach the wire to the coax feed? You will need an antenna tuner AKA transmatch or a balun.
And is there a best antenna wire to use?What matters is the length and construction used to make the wire. You
can use insulated wire to help hide the wire from neighbors if you need
to.

- You do want to use solid wire since the signals are collected
- on the surface of the wire for the best results.

QUESTION - What's Your Opinion "Antenna Wire" : Solid -or- Stranded ?

let the debate begin ~ RHF

Realistically, solid or stranded...makes minor differences in
reception signal capture. But stranded tends to have greater strength in
standing up against wind, ice & snow, and squirrels who seem to like to
Wallenda the length of the yard.
