Probably the best lightweight antenna wire there is
Review by

Antenna wires have to put up with a lot of temperature change, flexing, tension, gales etc.
It's true that almost any wire will 'work (at least for a while . . )
But
If you've found your best location / keeper-design and to keep it that way this wire has :
A low wind /visual profile (light green about 2.7 - 2.8mm dia),
Light weight (I measured about 11.5g /m ),
Extreme flexibility even in the cold
Incredible strength due to the Kevlar style inner core
An effective dia of about 1.4mm - being an outer braid of silver-tinned copper.
This stuff has never broken or stretched over several tough winters /gales etc.
I terminate it to ring/fork connectors by
Exposing 10mm of the braid,
Folding the braid back, ( slip some heatshrink on now if required)
Triming the kevlar to protrude 1 mm and inserting in all into the connector barrel
Crimping the barrel as tight as possible and then soldering to the braid
Then applying a few drops of superglue to the visible 'Kevlar' inner 'tuft'
Shrink the heatshrink as necessary for stress relief.
Just crimping onto the braid/kevlar may work but I wasn't entirely confident of this and the above method has lasted me several years on several antennas without any issue

Ideal antenna wire
Review by
Richard
Used to re-wire an antenna that's been outside for many years.
It's strong and easy to work with. No problems so far.
