Topband: RF resistance of wire

[Richard Karlquist]

FWIW:  I tested a 1000 foot run of open wire line
made with STRANDED aluminum 4 AWG THHN wire.  It
was very low loss, a few tenths of a dB on 160
up to about a dB on 10 meters.  I would say that
the stranding didn't cause much harm, based
on these results.  Just an anecdote.
