Topband: Source for WD-1A Field Wire

[Bill Tippett]

         I'm getting questions about WD-1A so here's the
complete mil-spec for it:

http://www.dscc.dla.mil/Downloads/MilSpec/Docs/MIL-DTL-49104/dtl49104.pdf

It's 4 strands of tinned copper and 3 strands of galvanized steel
~29 gauge wires per side of the twin conductor.  The 7 wires have
slightly larger diameter than 20 gauge wire.  The breaking strength
of the insulation for the twin pair is 170 pounds which I assume
becomes 85 pounds if the pair is split.

         If you need more data please read the spec above.
