Solid wire is a much better plan, and you can buy #4 bare solid wire by
the foot cut to length up to 200' off the shelf at Lowes or Home Depot.

The choice of wire I'm not sure about. #4
or # 6, solid or stranded. I'll be using
about 100' of it. It seems like the
thicker, the better but maybe #6 is fine?
I have no idea about stranded or solid,
seems like for this, solid would have
greater mass & be better? I have no idea.
#6 is a pick-up, #4 is an order.
The remote antenna is 370' away so I won't
be running it to there.
Thoughts?
