[Elecraft] Seeking loop Antenna Parts

[N2TK, Tony]

In the Caribbean the sun and salt spray gives short life to most wires. I
bought on eBay  several years ago stranded silver-solder tinned copper wire
with a Teflon coating. It doesn't seem to have stretched much and the Teflon
coating is holding up very well. I used #14 on 160M and #12 on 80M. Here in
NY I use #20 for receive antennas.

So, I guess it depends on your climate what works best and what is the best
value.

Copper is fine for conductivity but:

multistrand copper coated steel

is longer lasting. Just remember this when you start trouble shooting
strange swr in a couple of years. Copper breaks so easy.Go to the
Wireman.com for some good wire.
