Hi,

I was given a broken Gem Quad, which I am attempting to splint together,
and it needs all new wires.  I'm wondering whether to use #14, 7 strand
copper clad steel or #14, 7 strand hard drawn copper wire which may be
more flexible.  I'm also a little worried about galvanic action on the
copper clad steel.  But the steel seems like it would be stronger.  What
are the opinions here?

Thanks & 73,

Rob, KL7NA
