[Milsurplus] Antenna wire?

Hi

Depends a bit on what service, what application, and what era. Phosphor bronze stranded wire was a very typical answer for a lot of years.

I've been looking at DX Commander's DX50 wire, which was apparently made for the UK military and has a kevlar core. Overall, it made me wonder if we had something analgous and if so if it was available commercially.
