Ref. my learned acquaintance, Jim, VE7RF, " see they also make an
outdoor version of RW-90, waterproof, UV proof. "
For most any outer jacket material, if the rating is 105 Deg. C, it is going to
be UV proof. So yes, if you go the RW-90 route, be sure the rating is 105 C.
RW-90 is an expensive route to take when you can obtain PE jacketed (UV, water,
oil and certain chems proof) wire (# 13, 18 or 26 (# 26 for kite and balloon
antennas, etc) AWG from DAVIS RF, at much more economical cost (See
PolyStealth Tm antenna wires, 19 strand copper-weld for strength and reasonable
flexibility). Bare wires, # 10, # 12 copperweld stranded or solid also
available, as well as Flex-Weave Tm. DAVISRF.com 73, Steve, K1PEK

## I used 10 gauge RW-90, lasts indefinitely . Also used 8 awg.
## I see they also make an... outdoor version of RW-90, waterproof,
uv proof.
## Both versions are bomb proof... and both are black.
## 10 gauge will make wire ants a lot broader.
