[Elecraft] KX1: antenna wire

[Jozef Hand-Boniakowski]

FWIW.  And for those big loops!  TruValue (Granville NY) was selling #17 
electric fence wire for $22.99 for a 1/2 mile.  #14 for a 1/4 mile was 
$29.99.   I have a 40 meter loop I made with scraps of the #14 put 
together using wire nuts and homemade PVC insulators.  It has been up 
for years and the wire is over 20 years old.  I took it off the fence 
posts when we first moved in 1985.  I'm still using it, but almost gone 
now.
