[Lowfer] Loop Wire Source

[Peter Barick]

Alll,
Re: Wire Source For Loops

Dex recently stated his source for inexpensive house wire, ie, Romex cable, sans its sheath. A home store here lists 250ft 14-2 at $40. However also found there was simple bell wire. A 500ft roll of 20-2 solid was $37.

Surely this must not be overlooked as a source for winding rx loops, given that the turns are most often air spaced and negate the poor pvc insulation inherent in this type of wire when used in, say, tight-wound coils. But true the R-factor will be higher.

Just a thought for now  -- Peter
