This is the "Cadillac" of aerial antenna wire. Used by thousands of Amateur, Commercial, Government, and SWl'r hobbyist customers, Flex-WeaveTm continuously receives rave reviews. One customer noted "that's what all antennas should be made of" when refering to Flex-WeaveTm. Positive reviews have been noted in QST April 89, pg 21, CQ July '89, pg 84, Nuts & Bolts April 89 pg 55, and Ham Radio June 89 pg 86, among others. Dean, WA6PJR says "That's what all antennas should be made of" and Press Jones, N8UG, The Wireman Co. and "Guru" of wire and cable, distributes FLEX-WEAVETM for us, saying "The workhorse .... rope type construction for strength, ultra-flexibility, and easy handling". NOTE: We recommend the use of #12 for spans in excess of 170 ft (one leg of a 160 meter dipole), however, #14 has been used on continuous spans to 275 ft. Use PVC jacketed (#14 or #12) in salt air environments or where rubbing of tree limbs, etc. will occur. |
