Has anyone ever used the Muletape Quad Detectible as antenna wire?
Has 4 22 ga tinned copper insulated wires embedded, so much like electric
control fencing but insulated. 4 parallel wires in a 1/2” tape with 1250#
breaking strength with the 4 wires bonded seems like a strong lightweight
self-supporting conductor for a long dipole or end-fed. Cheap at $80 for a
3000’ roll.
Polyester has excellent UV resistance. No idea what the abrasion resistance
would be like, but it is designed to be tied in knots and to be dragged through
ductwork and conduit.
