I can only relate my experience in Australia, where wire is expensive. After investigating bulk wire from manufacturers here, electrical wholesalers, etc., I ended up buying spools of “Building Wire”. I purchased 20 x 100 m rolls of 1.5 mm building wire from an electrical wholesaler at AUD29/roll. The 7-strand wire is fairly small, but with the PVC insulation, quite good to handle, doesn’t spring or coil and I buried it with a fitting I constructed for the tractor. Good luck, Luke VK3HJ.

Hello Topbanders, I recently reached out directly to a few people who had posted recently(ish) to this email reflector who had described purchasing large amounts of wire for radials at a (relative) bargain price. However, after a couple of weeks of waiting, none of those emails have been responded to. I've got a new-and-improved plan for my 160m vertical in my back yard, but, at this moment in time, the biggest thing holding me back is the wire for a sufficient radial field. Do any of you have spools of wire you're willing to sell to me if the price is right? Or suggestions for me where I can purchase it for a reasonable price? Thank you. 73 de Greg N3ZL _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
