I haven't had luck searching online for info on tensile strength of garden variety hard drawn copper wire. I was hoping to compare 10-14 AWG copper versus copperweld, in stranded and solid flavors. I

Not sure where you'd find it on the web, but my (old) ITT Reference Data Book says that for hard-drawn copper wire, tensile strength is roughly 65,000lb/sq-in for wire sizes 8AWG-18AWG (lower for big

This doesn't answer your question, but I hope it's helpful and/or will provoke others to comment helpfully: 1. In an antenna, stranded wire lasts longer than solid wire of the same gauge. Solid tend

Based on personal experience, I suggest avoiding straned cooper clad steel. A number of years ago,I had a bunch of low band wires made of this stuff. As they swung in the breeze, the strands abraded

I should have said explicitly that stranded *copper* wire lasts longer than solid *copper* wire of the same gauge. Copper work-hardens to the point of getting brittle and finally cracking due to fati

Hi all; Try Essex wire inc. They manufacture some of the best hard drawn copper wire. Their MR200 is way above the others. Some of their coax was also unbeatable. Bill Wall KC4UZ at Antenna Mart. are
