To my knowledge, the original loading wires on my EF240x are stainless steel.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] F-12 Linear Loading Wire
> I am In the process of rehabbing a Force 12 Delta 240/230 beam
antenna. In the past I have rebuilt/repaired the original F-12 wires with
Aluma-weld 12GA.If my memory serves me there was a thread in the past because
of theflexingand hardening resulting in failure... another type of wire was
substituted? Coper Weld ? Galvanized fence Wire ?
I've installed many F12 antennas over the years and if memory serves me
correctly, according to Tom the LL design was very sensitive to the type of
wire used.
Cheers & GL,
