Excellent invisible antenna wire. You see, you don't!

That's a wire! He's isolated! It works! Hard to see when open! It folds easily, weighs little and doesn't take up much space, so you can carry it in your pocket when hiking. There were no complaints about the homeowners association at home! It's only 63,000 inches thick, so if your neighbor complains, tell him to get a life sentence! Has withstood wind and snow in Colorado so far. At the moment I use it as a long cable and it matches well with the mfj autotuner. I am planning to buy another one

Pros
  • HANDLING: Highly flexible and slippery outer shell surface, tangle resistant in the field for portable use. SuperWire from Super Antenna is great for making your own handheld antennas and radial kits. WEIGHT: 12 ounces total.
Cons
  • price in the piggy bank

Excellent Wire on Radio Antennas

I used it to build my end-fed half-wave antenna for 80 to 10 meters. The packaging was great, no problems with tangles or creases. Once this material is in the air, it is almost invisible. It's nice and light so you don't have to pull too hard to keep it from sagging. I positioned the antenna as a 135 foot sloper, with the far end at 50 feet and the 49:1 transformer end at about 6 feet. Although I like this wire, it is very easy to work with, it holds the knot well, no solder is required when…

Pros
  • THIS: Model MS135 SuperWire from Super Antenna. Designed for portable ham radio antennas, terrestrial radial antennas, SDR and SWL.
Cons
  • High price

Very light but effective for experimental use

So you need a length of antenna cable to quickly install an inverted V, inverted L, plain dipole or end-fed half wave, and you don't want to spend a ton of money on a thicker cable at your local HmDpt. It could just be a ticket. It's thin and flexible enough to fit in a backpack or travel box without taking up too much space. The kit includes enough to mount an 80m half-wave dipole if you need that, and it weighs next to nothing to carry around. All in all a perfect way to invent pretty much…

Pros
  • MATERIALS: Rigid PTFE insulation outer jacket. COLOUR: Matte black with stealth anti-reflective coating, low viz (low visibility). Waterproof. all weather. UV-resistant.
Cons
  • Compatibility

Good wire but poorly packaged

I call it "puzzle wire" because if you try to unroll it, it turns into a twisted rat's nest of tangled wire that will take you hours to figure out how to straighten out. Not bad as an antenna cable. I bought this to make 4 equal length counterweights. Unfortunately they must have wound it on a machine that twists the wire as it is wound. This isn't good for the same reason you're told not to wrap an electrical extension cord around your elbow. Unless you're very careful unwinding the wire from…

Pros
  • LENGTH: 135 feet (41 meters), spool of wire without spool. Ideal for crimping or soldering.
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Pros
  • AV Accessory
Cons
  • Requires Socket

I have used this cable for many of my portable antennas. All my 80m and 40m doublets and end fed wire antennas use it. It is extremely flexible and durable. I have also used another wire and coax cable from Wireman which has great products. She recently ordered 532 "silky" 40 acre wires to find a cheaper alternative. This wire is good quality but not that flexible. I used super antenna cable again because I can easily wrap it around kitewinders for easy portability. If you enjoy working with a…
