Very strong and thick enough so that the senior members of the bird population can see it before they get maimed. Do you run the steel wire all the way to the radio? If not, how do you connect the lead wire such as copper to the steel antenna wire without galvanic corrosion? It's a temporary setup, So I just used a wire nut (Marrette) filled with Penetrox, an anti oxidant grease, before it was put on the twisted coax centre and the steel line. I positioned the closed end upwards, so that it wouldn't collect rainwater. A ground wire then runs down to the clamp on water pipe underneath. That's the only side I have the coax grounded on. Then the coax runs through the attic and down to the push button switch selector, which feeds the 'radio of the day'. A matching transformer didn't seem to make much difference mike |
