I like insulated multistrand bell wire. You can pay fro fancier wire, but
sooner or later, after a few years, the wire will get rusty and corroded and
it will need to be replaced. Any hardware store or grange should have
suitable wire. I'm not sure how long you want it to be, but make sure you
have a static-lightening arrestor connected to it to protect your system

All life all holiness come from you O Lord

Thanks. I need all the holinesses I can gets.

That's why I use the tinned stuff for contact antennas. For pole and
insulator antennas I have this stuff from Home Depot called chandelier
wire, whic is about 20 g twisted copper. It turns green but doesn't
stretch or anything. That's what my 50 foot wire is. Between 2 egg
insulators driving a Palomar MLB.

I've also had excellent results with solid steel wire, which is $4 for
120 feet.
