[TowerTalk] FW: F-12 Linear Loading Wire

[Matt]

To my knowledge, the original loading wires on my EF240x are stainless steel.

>  I am In the process of rehabbing a Force 12 Delta 240/230 beam
antenna. In the past I have rebuilt/repaired the original F-12 wires with Aluma-weld 12GA.If my memory serves me there was a thread in the past because of theflexingand hardening resulting in failure... another type of wire was substituted?  Coper Weld ? Galvanized fence Wire ?
 
    I've installed many F12 antennas over the years and if memory serves me correctly, according to Tom the LL design was very sensitive to the type of wire used. 
 
Cheers & GL,
