Is the PVC insulation coming off? I have never seen this occur, even in

John. I've had a lot of THHN in the air for ten years or more, and your
experience is the same as mine. In response to erroneous comments made
by another ham that antenna performance was degraded by this, N6LF
published the results of some serious lab work proving that this was
not true.
You
can buy bare wire in any size, I use it for ground radials.
I use THHN #14 for radials, both on the ground and elevated.
I believe
that K9YC uses heavy AWG bare copper and pre-stretches it for antenna wire.
Yes.
