This may be one of the best deals on wire I've
ever seen. 1 mile of WD-1A Field Wire for ~$80 shipped. A
pair can be split into 2 single pieces which can be used
for single wire Beverages or for radials at a delivered cost
around $0.0076 per foot ($80/10,560'). Wire for one 600'
Beverage would cost $4.55 or 60 130' radials would cost $59.
Don't get carried away bidding up the listing below because
he claims to have 150 miles of it. He'll also ship via UPS
instead of the USPS Priority quoted. He's a relatively new
seller but has a 100% rating. If you use PayPal you have
buyer protection to $200 (or at least I do).

Field Wire is extremely strong and would be great for
2-wire Beverages "as is" or for single wire Beverages or
radials when split. Hope this helps some of you! I have
no connection with this guy other than being a customer.
