Sorry about that Paul:
Heres the scoop from the ebay listing....
"1,000 ft roll (no splices) of 22 AWG, 19/34 strand, tinned coated
copper wire. This is a quality high temp, Mil Spec M81044-12-22-9 with a
non-melting and shrinking, flame retardant, white polyalkene insulator.
The wire has resistance to temperatures ranging from -65 to +150 degrees
C and service voltages up to 600V, 50 Hz. The wire is spooled without
any splices and has the Spec Numbers printed along the full length. "
With the $7.50 in shipping I paid $21.25 which comes out to just over 2
cents per foot. Not very expensive at all and will fill many needs,
dipoles, loops, long wires, verticals, radials ect ect. The listing
does not list breaking strength so I'm not sure how well it would hold
up as a dipole with out some sort of center support due to coax weight.

I ordered a 1000 foot spool of wire from ebay per KW4A's suggestion.
The fella I ordered it from shipped it promptly and I received it
today.
Nice wire, it appears very strong and should be fairly invisible for
stealth antennas. I put a soldering iron to it and it took solder
with no problem.
He also sells the military poles/masts (both aluminum and fiberglass)
which are stackable. I'll probably order some of those for my next
antenna project.
The sellers ebay id is deagle1969.
I have no personal interest here, just happy with the wire I received.
73,
