As my existing fence is falling down and I have saved the 3K to replace
it it's also time for a new antenna. What type of wire would be best?
My existing antenna is around the fence about 8' in the area and the
area is shaped like [ with the long side running North/South.

I like 22g Stranded Tinned Teflon Coated

- I prefer stranded insulated Wire; either solder the joints or
silicone glue them;

with supports frequent enough so it won't blow down ( in normal winds)
and is " Ice Storm" proof..

Winding the insulated wire around a 3/4 inch nylon rope might also do
the trick

Multiple antennas are another idea..

Bull**** David!

Buy yourself some WIRE! Get a roll of #12 teflon coated that will last
for years and not break if your neihbor farts in the same direction its
hanging....#12 stranded will take a lot of bending and flexing with the
wind. Believe it or not a #12 wire antenna is easier to tune and actually
picks up better than the hair sized crap that reminds David of his penis
diameter. Plus #12 is easier to solder on !.... At 30$ to 40$ a 500 foot
roll its a great investment! It comes in
green...brown...white...grey...red...blue...orange ect. so you can hide it
no matter what.

I've done the #18 and # 22 Mistakes before.......Never again! I can break
the stuff by stretching it with my bare hands.

If your not on lifetime public assistance like David?....go for the good
stuff!

A 500-foot roll of #14 or #16 stranded insulated in your choice of
designer hues is available from Lowe's or Home Depot, about $25 if you
buy the whole roll.

Whilst in principle a broader cross section results in lower Q, the
diameters as a fraction of wavelength are virtually identical,
Asshole.

And a $500 foot roll of TFE coated wire costs way more than 30 or 40
clams.

Oh Pleeeze disease!

I paid 36.50 for my last roll almost a month ago.You must be shopping at
some democrap store??

And as far as diameters and fractions....you can tell a difference on same
length antenna's in recieving side by side ...a BIG NOTICABLE DIFFERENCE!

Go pick up your food stamps and trade em in for another rock of crack.
