Can someone tell me what the antenna wire is called that is milsurplus 
and as often obtained on fly fishing rods.  It was military antenna wire 
and was about #22awg I think (might have been as big as #18 but no 
bigger).  It is/was a bronzed copper woven copper stranded wire.  I 
posted the same question on another list but was told to use copperweld 
(I hate that stuff) or to buy some stainless steel wire (even worse).  
The wire I am looking for is for temporary portable operation as a 
dipole or two or three.  Yes I could just buy a couple rolls of 
insulated wire to make this antenna but had some of the bronzed wire in 
the past and it would be ideal for the operation I have planned.

Thank you.
