I have been using a couple of "things"...
First see:
https://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-Camp-Laundry-Reel-21-Foot/dp/B001QBZM4Q/ref=sr_1_29?crid=3GJ5K4I006OGB&keywords=camping+clothesline&qid=1640011049&sprefix=camping+clothesline%2Caps%2C109&sr=8-29
as a wire winder.
I use 24ga Teflon wire. The copper strands are silver plated, with a
banana plug attached. I have been using the winder + Teflon wire for
many years. Works great.
For my 135' ladderline fed dipole, I use 24ga silver plated wire that is
(I think) nylon coated. I picked it out of the "junk box" (trash) at
work YEARS ago. The closest replacement would be Teflon wire. The
silver plating makes for GREAT conduction.
Otherwise, I would use Wireman stealth wire either 26ga or 18ga.

Ok, quick question for all you portable geeks. I am running the Wayne
style end fed random wire thrown over a tree. Using AWG 14 but need a
smaller wire. Anyone have a favorite wire you use for the Ant and
Ground Plane? Rugged, straightens nice etc.?
