Standard Antenna Wire	Specialty Wire

*#14 Stranded (7x22) Hard-drawn* This is the standard antenna wire. Stranding is very tight, well beyond industry standards. It is flexible, has long service life, and is easy to use. For all wire antennas up to 150' between supports.	FLEX-WEAVE^tm Ultra-flexible hybrid Antenna Wire by Davis RF
*#14 Stranded (7x22) Copper-Clad* Stronger than #14 hard-drawn. A bit harder to work with. Use when heavy weather is a factor.	168 strand bare copper wire with rope-type construction for strength, ultra-flexibility, and easy handling. FLEX-WEAVE is virtually kink-free and it can be tied in a knot like rope at the insulators. It is perfect for portable antennas, dipoles, wire beams, etc., and it is especially good on Quads. Recommended for most applications where wire span does not exceed 170 feet. #14 Flex-weave is also perfect for Quads.
	*#12 Bare Flex-Weave* For longer runs or where the lowest loss possible is required. This is the most flexible #12 you can find.

#*13 VariFlex Insulated (19 strand)* Extremely tough jacket over a very flexible wire. Combination is about as stiff as hard-drawn 7-strand wire. Use whenever and heavy-duty insulated wire is desired, in trees, for example. This wire is resistant to acid rain and corrosive contaminants in the air. Use in any antenna subjected to heavy-weather (high winds, ice, snow, etc.)	Jacket Colors available - BLACK or Army Camo Green *Insulated FLEX-WEAVE* The jacket is light and very flexible. Even #12 insulated is as easy to work with - just about like using rope of the same size. Plus the jacket protects the 168 strands of wire from the elements. Use CoaxSeal® over any exposed wire or solder joints and forget acid-rain and corrosion problem. #14 Flex-Weave 168 Strand *#12 Insulated Flex-Weave* 259 Strand - This is the wire to use for that super-duper antenna system you've been planning.
NEW *#12 Polyethylene Insulated Flex-Weave* Now you can have the 259-strand FlexWeave^tm with the new PE jacket. Note: The polyethylene insulated is not as flexible as the standard PVC insulated FlexWeave^tm.	NEW *#14 Polyethylene Insulated Flex-Weave* It's the same terrific FlexWeave^tm wire now insulated with a tough 15 mil polyethylene jacket. Color is black. See the flexibility note below.

Small Gauge, special application antenna wire

#18 Solid Copper-Clad Steel

Ideal for ground radial systems, hidden antennas, loops, experiments.

#26 VariFlex Insulated (19 strand) CW

Insulated with a thin, tough, black, polyethylene jacket. This wire is made specifically for hidden antennas. It is extremely strong for its very small size. Use sky colored buttons for insulators and an antenna made of this wire is nearly impossible to see in the air.

GROUND STRAP

For ground systems. Much more effective than any heavy gauge wire. Tinned for long life. This 'tinned' copper braid will last far longer than the bare copper shield stripped from an old piece of coax.

½" Tinned Copper Braid

1" Tinned Copper Braid

2" Solid Copper Strap

.020" x 2" Soft Copper strap is easily bent. Strap ground rods together. Nail along back of desk to make a ground bus. Solder ground wires from each piece of equipment directly to this low inductance strap.

This copper is much thicker than most types available. Some supply copper strap as thin as .005". That's just foil.

Copper Ground Strap

For connecting ground wires to ground stakes.

Plastic Spools

Wire and rope are shipped in hanks. We can wind some small diameter coax and all wire and antenna support line on plastic spools. Spools keep leftover quantities neat and ready for future use. The plastic spools are light in weight and do not add significantly to shipping costs.

This service is only $2.50 extra per spool (which is what the spools costs us). To order simply request that we spool your wire, cable, or rope order.
