Randy,
It seems like you are building what was the Lightning Bolt 32mcq/wb 5-band
quad. That quad used welding wire. Have a look at the following website.
http://www.qsl.net/w3df/quad2/quad.html There's a picture of a spool of the
wire in the 2nd set of images. The wire has held up well here in NH for over
15 years of use.

Hi TowerTalkians:
I'm going to build a 3el 5-band quad, 20-10M, and I'm looking for
suggestions re: what wire to use, and where to get it.
www.thewireman.com has: "Silky' 16 AWG, 19 strand, tinned, 40%
copper-clad steel. Designed as a replacement for restringing quads, but
popular as an easy-to-use dipole wire."
That seems to be the only wire on that page with the word "quad" in the
description. Is this the right stuff, or is there something better?
And/or somewhere better to get it? Won't be used beyond 1500W PEP.
Thanks.
