[TowerTalk] Is this suitable for 150' rotator control?

[David Robbins K1TTT]

Try looking for the wire they use for low voltage outdoor lights.  The type
you put on decks and along walks.  Its cheap and rugged.  I have also used
10-3w/g for a LONG rotor run for high current prop pitch rotor... get the
stuff that is rated for outdoors or the outer jacket will get brittle and
crack in a couple years.
