Antenna Wire - Lightweight - 500m

I have been activated more than 500 times and this wire never let me down. Highly recommended.

I paid the extra one pound for First Class postage. Even out here in rural Scotland, I received a very well-packaged reel of wire on the following day! It is surprisingly strong, and is excellent for end-fed wires on the lower bands. I have a roll of military D11 cable, but that is so heavy that the wires sag terribly. This SOTABeam wire is much lighter, but still strong enough to withstand pulling into a relatively 'flat' span. My only complaint is that, although you can get the wire in 100m reels with BROWN insulation, (quote "for stealth use"), the 500m reels are only available in Yellow and Green. Let's hope for overcast skies and colour-blind neighbours.

I bought a 500m drum (in green) of this for experimenting with antenna designs. This is good strong wire and is barely visible once strung up. Good for sensitive neighbours. The only downside would be it is a knot magnet is big lengths. But it’s a small price to pay for what has served me very well.

Have used this wire to build several linked dipoles. Light weight and works fine for my uses portable and for weekend deployments. Works great with portable poles and various fishing rods / push up masts.

I bought this cable to re-create lightweight versions of the Clansman Antennas and use them with Richard's sota-poles. The Authentic antenna wires are strong but are too heavey for the poles. This lightweight antenna wire has made the re-make possible, it is strong and more importantly the weight is ideal. I've managed to make the counterpoise under 100g including a former. Really impressed by the consistently good service, the communication from Richard on the Chat tool or via Twitter is superb. Highly recommended.
