DX Engineering Copperweld® Antenna Wire

DX Engineering Copperweld® Antenna Wire stands the test of time. Strong and resilient, this wire is the experimenter and operator's choice when the antenna will be subjected to the tug-of-war between branches of trees and high wind and ice-loading environments. This copper coated steel wire provides unmatched strength and performance without stretching and will do so for many years. This is an extra high strength annealed wire with a break strength of 224 ft. lbs.

Well suited for Amateur Radio and Shortwave Listening (SWL) wire antenna projects, DX Engineering Copperweld® Antenna Wire is ready for construction of permanent commercial and emergency antennas, as well. Use it for dipoles, folded dipoles, inverted-vees, delta loops, sky loops and dozens of other transmit and receive wire antenna systems. The long spans of Beverage and large loop antennas are much too easily stretched and broken when deployed with aluminum fence wire or soft copper. Use DX Engineering Copperweld® Antenna Wire for stronger, better tensioned and longer lasting Beverage, loop and long wire antenna installations.

NOTE: DX Engineering Copperweld® Antenna Wire is not an appropriate choice for use as radial wire and should not be used in contact with soil. Choose bare solid DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire or insulated stranded copper DX Engineering Premium Radial Wire or Radial Wire Kits.

The caution label on these wire spools reads "WARNING - Wire/Cable May Spring Apart and Cause Injury - Wear Safety Glasses and Gloves." This copper plated steel wire is stiff, springy and will unspool quickly, yet it will retain a coiled temper. Use care to secure and pay out this wire under tension, to prevent kinks from being set that will weakening the span. If you prefer an easier to use product, choose the insulated stranded copper DX Engineering Premium Antenna Wire.
