[Towertalk] Re: Insulated wire

[Cqtestk4xs@aol.com (Cqtestk4xs@aol.com)]

I picked up an enormous amount of #12 multi-stranded wire for next to 
nothing, but it was insulated.  When making my quad loops for my 80m meter 
array I was surprised  to find that they were all cut too long and were 
resonant down below 3500.  I cut and tested a few times and wound up lopping 
off around 15 feet or so from all the if I remember correctly.  

I like using the insulated wire.  It never kinks or knots on me when I raise 
and lower the arrays into the brush for maintainence.
