This wire is available in the US from Fair Radio sales and elsewhere. It is
called WD-1 and is usually sold on a large spool. Fair is selling RL-159 reels
which have 1 mile of wire, UNUSED for $125 plus shipping (50#)
I can't find my Signal Corps Wireman's book to give all the specifics but Riki
is right abt the military surplusing the wire after use. We surplused the wire
after there were too many splices per mile. If you use it, watch those sttel
wires! They are like daggers and I have plenty of scars on my hands and fingers
from them!!!!
WD-1 makes great (expensive) radial wire too.
