In my case, it's just tinned #20 copper wire.

And the dyno taken down was for a DZ-2 used on a "SAQ dx-pedition"
to the beach boonies with a 3' square loop of IDE disk cable.  Tuned
to resonate @ 17.2 khz.

Some portable set, that.  10min.s to set up.  Loop on torchiere
lamp staub.  RX on dyno & that run by 2 seriesed 18AH 12V UPS gel-cells.
Dyno has comprehensive filter base & set runs dead-quiet... after
LV brush-holders eased & bearings lubed.  Those Radiomarine engineers
precisely recognized noise needs.

And fishing for a 1924 tx with a dyno-powered 1937 rx seems... well it
just seems right.

BTW, that DZ-2 has 3uV MDS @ 17.2 khz.  No slouch.

But where on this planet are you going to find a 3uV noise level @ 17.2
khz?
