Around here they are much more thoughtful and remove that nasty stuff
from the houses under construction so you won't be bothered by
electronic noise from those locations.
Almost all construction around here used Romex(sp?) and still does.
The only problem I've seen with either THHN or ROMEX is the stuff is
soft and your 75 and 160 meter antennas keep getting longer, and longer,
and longer, but the wire does get work hardened.
