I prefer Wireman #531.
From thewireman.com: Tough coat ‘Silky’ with a tough outer jacket (nominal OD, 0.120″ including 0.020″ jacket). Weight per ft is .03 ounces. VF=.95 Designed for through-the-trees, sea coast, acid rain or other inclement atmospheric conditions. Our most rugged, longest-lived, stranded antenna wire for any purpose. Jacket has minimal effect on performance – less than that of a year’s accumulation of oxidation product on bare wire, with less noise. Break strength 400 lbs. Price is per foot. Specifications Wire Type 19x stranded copper-clad steel (40%) Wire Gauge 14 AWG Jacket High density, low-gloss polyethylene Break Strength 400 lbs Our number one seller in antenna wire for permanent installations. https://thewireman.com/product/antenna-wire-13-awg-copper-clad-steel-stranded-jacketed/ 73 Lyn, W0LEN -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich WC3T Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2021 7:20 PM To: Ronnie Hull Cc: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Best Portable Wire I third the selection of “The Wireman” products.
