Davis RF can supply #16 black PE jacketed real Copperweld at .07/ft in a
5000' reel; good stuff for 160M phased Beverages for several directions.
They also have #13 19 strand black PE jacketed Copperweld at .15/ft in 1000'
and .13/ft in 10000'.
Ive also received good quotes from QPL and Graybar for #12 and 14 black PE
Copperweld.
Has anyone tried the 4 conductor telephone wire for radials. Its super cheap
at hamfests and some regular fleamarkets in big spools. #24 or 26 I believe.
