[SOC] Wire for a dipole

[Tom McCulloch]

Hi,

  With spring coming I was once again looking at www.thewireman.com site and 
feeling ambitious.  Can anyone recommend the type of wire I should use for a 
basic 40 meter dipole?

  I'm looking at what the Wireman calls #511, which is 14 AWG seven stranded 
copper clad steel. It goes for 9 cents per foot, for 100 feet lengths. What 
do you think?  Its just going to be a run-of-mill dipole betweem two trees 
probably fed with 450 ohm window line.  His number 551.

Thanks for any thoughts on this that you maight have,

Tom
