[Elecraft] KX1: antenna wire

[Paul - VE1DY]

Hi Mike,

I'd use any old wire you can find at a good price.  Home Depot must
have something, and I wouldn't bother with the double binding post at
all.  I prefer alligator clips.  You can see what I use on my KX1 web
page: http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/ppike/csway.html

Good luck,

Paul

I'm a bit confused there but am thinking folks have suggested going with teflon coated wire.  Also, do any of the recommended sources also carry the Pomona double binding post adapters?  It would be nice to save shipping by buying both from one source.  Thanks!
