[TowerTalk] 80M antenna wire size

[Steve Maki]

THHN jacket seems to hold up well. It's just PVC but I've found it to be 
fairly UV resistant.

The clear nylon coating is only there to make the wire slippery so that 
electricians can pull it easily thru conduit.

Don't worry about it coming off in antenna applications.
