Topband: Bog wire

I am curious why you specify "#18 Teflon" wire for the BOG wire you list
about 1/2 way down the page. Black polyethylene insulated wire would
hold up a lot better over time and would be far cheaper, so I'm curious
if there is some specific reason you would specify Teflon? The only
thing I can think of here is the velocity factor, which is only differs
from polyethylene about 4-5% and I wouldn't think would make much
difference with an on-ground wire anyway...
