Unless you want to put up a Sterba Curtain or a Rhombic.

Is it the twin lead commo wire? I used to find a lot of it out near the NG range in Florence.
Unspooled and strung across the desert floor of course.

I bought a spool of commo wire like that at a ham fest last year.
It makes nice wire for radials (for a vertical). I cut one side for one band, and the other side for another band. |

I've recommended aluminum electric fence wire for this purpose for many years. It's about the same price last I checked.
I used to say "lifetime supply" but I ended up buying another 1/4 mile spool a few years ago. Start cutting radials for verticals, and make a few disposable 80m dipoles for field day and the like and you can go through a lot of wire. While you're at the farm supply store, pick up a 9000 foot spool of polypro baler twine for temporary guy rope, wire antenna supports etc. Its conveniently in a high-viz orange color and cheap enough to just throw away after field day or whatever. It's not good on UV resistance for long term outdoor use though. |

I looked it up and I notice that the WD-36 uses aluminum for the conductors. What has been your experience in using this?
Is it strong enough to support itself on a long run between elevated supports? For example, a 160-meter dipole? I presume this is not solderable, do you just rely on mechanical connections? How about corrosion at twisted or clamped connections after weather exposure? Thanks for sharing any info... Jim |
