[Elecraft] Seeking loop Antenna Parts

I never had a problem with THHN, but stranded copper weld had a very short
life in Aruba.

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.
