Rick,
Certainly it will work, and makes for a quick temporary antenna,
particularly indoors.
However, if you are using the speaker wire as a transmission line, it
has relatively high loss characteristics, and I would recommend that you
think about replacing the transmission line part with real parallel
transmission line for a more permanent installation.
For the radiator section, the speaker wire can remain.

Good morning list,
I was wondering what folks thought about using speaker wire for a
quick indoor antenna for my kx3.
I've got one of those nelson antennas 9:1 unun and the tuner in the
kx3. Do I need heavier wire and would that make a difference?
thanks and 73 - rick n3gms
