Super Antenna MS135 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!

Wire is as described and works great.

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.

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.

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.

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

I have used this wire for many of my portable antennas. All my 80 and 40 meter doublets and end-fed random wire antennas use it. It is extremely flexible and rugged. I have also used other wire and coax from The Wireman who have excellent products. Recently I ordered their 532 "silky" 18 ga. wire in an attempt to get a less expensive alternative. That wire is of fine quality but not as flexible. I have gone back to using the Super Antenna wire because I can easily wrap it on kite winders for easy portable use.If you like to work QRP portable, this is a great antenna wire. I pair it with my Elecraft KX3, Bioenno 3Ah or 6Ah LiFePo battery and Palm Pico paddle, and have a very small footprint CW station.The other thing about this particular SuperWire is that in addition to being extremely flexible, the conductor is strong enough to pull through tree branches without breaking.
