Message-ID: <547f91a0.8080...@t-online.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Topbanders, thank you for your comments. Looks like this wire was a good choice (in fact, i couldn't resist as it was free), many use it for their beverages. Thank you all. Now back to the shop building that switchbox..... Hear you soon.
Martin, I cannot speak for the suitability of this wire for a Beverage, as I have no experience with them, but I do know that WD1-A has a high DC resistance and a higher RF resistance.
I also know that ON4UN does not recommend it. My intention is to use 14 gage stranded THHN house wire for a BOG; will advise results when I have them.
