Topband: Minimum wire size

[Jerry and Gail]

As an old hidden antenna experimenter over many years, I have used wire down
to #40, with lengths up to 500' .  A word of caution: birds seem not to be
able to see and therefore avoid wire smaller than about #32.  Sooner or
later, a collision occurs and down comes the antenna.  Fortunately, #28 to
#32 is relatively invisible unless the sun hits it just right.

Good luck!
