I once heard a learned engineer argue for the use of housewiring for wire
antennas not because it was soft copper but because it was insulated and
the rain static would be lower as there would be a release of that static
energy without it being against your antenna....being an engineering school
dropout I do not pass this on as gospel - and I sure don't follow it in my
antennas....but he sure made it sound convincing!
