I would have taken a picture, but you can't see it!!
The ultimate way to keep the neighbours happy, assuming you've chosen the brown wire. I've used the wire in conjunction with the Pico Tuner to create an End Fed Halfwave for 20m's and appropriate counterpoise. It works a treat and solders well. Living in shared accommodation means no drilling big holes in the wall but I've been creative. The Pico Tuner is mounted at the top of the window frame and, since the wire is a small diameter, I've then run it through the trickle vents of the window to the outside world. It works, what more can I say!

Yellow Antenna Wire
Thanks Richard for the wire it arrived in VK in good time for me to knock up a new link dipole for the 2016 SOTA season. Its a great product and I have had no trouble using your antennas made from this wire . It was my own impatience and haste that broke the last antenna when it caught in the rocks on a summit. All was not lost the 20m section of the first dipole is now cut down from the break to make a 15m dipole. I recommend this wire for light weight antennas for sure.

Good Value
Bought for a stealth antenna. Seems ok but not sure how robust it would be with the winds we have experienced lately. Definitely worth a go though.

Ideal for Fishing Poles.
Fast delivery, lightweight wire ideal and the brown I can hardly see from a distance in the garden of my retirement home.

Used for Homebrew Vertical
Just the job for use up the centre of the SOTA 10M fibreglass pole that is mounted on wall brackets. Wire lightweight and easy to work with.

Portable antenna
Well the first 9m is working well. No reason to suspect that the remaining 91m will be any worse! Some form of wire winder would help avoid kinks - that's my next job.

Not copper wire but..
Nevertheless seems to work perfectly well to construct a 3 band fan dipole in the attic, tuned to 10, 15 and 20 metres. {Admin - this product is tinned copper wire}

100M of small wire
It's small , and it's wire ! , I bought a roll of each colour , much easier to untangle when un rolling / rolling up , when used as aerial ..
