Super AntennaMS135 SuperWire Stealth Bulk 135 feet Wire #18 Stranded ham Radio Amateur PTFE

I bought a pack of this wire with the intention of building two nested vertical full-wave delta loops for 20 meters and 15 meters, in my tiny back yard and using the same 30-foot fiberglass center pole. There was more than enough for both loop antennas each fed a short way up one vertical side.It is barely visible, making the central pole appear like a lightweight flagpole to the neighborhood. Each loop performs well with excellent matching to 75 ohm coax with a ferrite line isolator and each easily tolerates 100 watts fed into it. Makes global FT8 contacts easy, mostly on 10 watts from a G90. Love this wire!

I am definitely surprised with the quality and strength of this wire. I am using it as-is (not trimmed at all) with a 49:1 unun and it makes a perfect 80M end fed half wave, resonant without tuning on 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meter bands. It has been through a few very strong wind storms already without breaking, and since it's a lot lighter than my previous wire (14AWG marine wire) it sags a lot less and of course is much less visible.$50 is a little expensive for 135ft, but the fact that it's high quality and pre-cut to the perfect length makes it worth it for me.

It's wire! It's insulated! It works! It's hard to see when deployed! It winds up easily, doesn't weigh much and doesn't take up much room so you can carry the whole thing in your pocket when hiking. At home there have been no HOA complaints! It is only 63 thousanths of an inch thick, so if your neigbor complains tell them to get a life! Has held up in wind and snow so far in Colorado. I'm using it as a longwire now and it tunes well with an mfj autotuner. I plan to buy another for motorhome portable use.

Nice antenna wire, works well up to 100w (max I can put out). When wrapped on a winder, it does tangle (as most wires do). Easy to work with and great for antenna projects.

I was very interested to checkout this antenna wire as technical details are scarce on the listing. The conductor is 19 strands of tinned copper wire. I measured the resulting conductor at 1.1mm and the OD of the insulation at 1.6mm. This lines up with 18AWG and an insulation thickness of about 0.01" - standard for 600V rated teflon/PTFE wire. The Teflon/PTFE jacket is slightly glossy and is similar to other PTFE insulated wire I have worked with in the past. It disappears into the backdrop once installed.At the current cost of $40 (with free shipping) for 135ft this works out to $0.30 a foot. A good deal.I am happy with it so far. Now we just have to make sure the insulation holds up to UV.

String 65 feet of this along a fence or between trees. Hard to see and creates the best outside wire antenna for shortwave reception

Bought this to make an EFLW HF antenna for POTA & I'm very pleased. It is indeed end-fed, and long, in addition to being wire. I teamed it up with a 9:1 UNUN & a wire winder. Used some pvc conduit I cut into 1/4" rings for insulators, & I chuck it it a tree to talk to strangers in strange places, from equally strange places. If your plan is to do the same, be sure to get a large enough wire winder. Once it's all wrapped up for storage it gets bulky. Can easily handle my 20watt output, I think it will handle 100w as well if needed. I'd try it out but my yard's not as long as this wire, so it'd be kinda goofy.Good luck, happy pota hunting or field-daying, or just trekking about & deciding to play radio.

Wire is as described and works great.
