[TowerTalk] RW 90 Wire, UV proof type , DAVIS RF Co. TowerTalk Digest, Vol 205, Issue 8

[Steve Davis | Davis RF]

Ref. my learned acquaintance, Jim, VE7RF,   "  see  they  also  make  an  outdoor  version  of  RW-90,  waterproof, UV  proof. "

For most any outer jacket material, if the rating is 105 Deg. C, it is going to be UV proof.  So yes, if you go the RW-90 route, be sure the rating is 105 C.  RW-90 is an expensive route to take when you can obtain PE jacketed (UV, water, oil and certain chems proof)   wire (# 13, 18 or 26 (#  26 for kite and balloon antennas, etc) AWG  from DAVIS RF, at much more economical cost (See PolyStealth Tm antenna wires, 19 strand copper-weld for strength and reasonable flexibility).  Bare wires, # 10, #  12 copperweld stranded or solid also available, as well as Flex-Weave Tm.   DAVISRF.com       73, Steve,  K1PEK      (Noted Tm's are trademarks of DAVIS RF Co.)

##  I  used 10  gauge  RW-90,  lasts  indefinitely .   Also  used  8  awg.

##  I  see  they  also  make  an...  outdoor  version  of  RW-90,  waterproof,
uv  proof.

## Both  versions  are  bomb  proof...  and both  are  black.

##  10 gauge  will  make  wire  ants  a lot  broader.
