Hi Tom,

  Phosphor Bronze wire rope is what I've used for shipboard wire antennas
when I was in the Coast Guard... along with matching hardware. (Yes, I
sure DO know how to spend other people's money!)

  Pricey perhaps, but probably the best antenna you'll ever put up only
once! Very strong, corrosion resistant, and quite flexible.

73,

Rick, WB3EXR
