Subject: | [TowerTalk] Aluminium wire for antennas |

I just bought some 12 gauge aluminium wire to rewind some traps and at the price it occurred to me that it would make great antenna wire. Given that it is lighter in addition to being much cheaper than copper why would I not want to use it? It feels fairly soft so I'm thinking stretch might be a problem but not sure what else might be a factor. Almost all my other antennas are aluminium why not the wire ones? Thoughts?
