Super Antenna MS135 SuperWire Stealth Bulk 135 feet Wire #18 Stranded ham Radio Amateur PTFE

I'm not too technical, to be honest, but this is angreat antenna! I bought it and used the entire length as a shortwave antenna for my Icom IC-R75. It does angreat job! I'm pulling in very distant signals and it seems to work great with my receiver.

A good antenna wire for the portable Ham radio POTA/SOTA user. Strong wire and easy to set up in the field.

So you need a length of antenna wire to set up a quick inverted vee, inverted L, a simple dipole, or an end fed half wave, and you don't want to spend a lottabux on some thicker cable at your local HmDpt. This could be just the ticket. It's thin and pliable enough to include in your back pack or go box and doesn't take a lot of space, either. There's enough included to set up a half wave 80 meter dipole if that's what you're after, and it weighs practically nothing to haul around. All in all, an ideal way to invent practically any antenna that you want to experiment with.

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!

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.

Perfect for my EFHW for 80 meters

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.

My first use of this was for an AM radio reception as my radio is in the basement (CCrane 3). I exited the basement through a conduit sleeve that was otherwise unused. I took the far end, wrapped it over a piece of wood, and tossed it up into a tree. The other end snaked back into the basement and attached to the radio's AM antenna screw connection. As an aside, my AM radio has a ground connection which also needed to be established, I simply attached that to a metal electrical surface mounted box. With both the ground and this wire I have *a lot* of AM radio stations. Like I think I literally have every single one now, it's impressive! The wire is hard to see. Time will tell just how tough it is. My install is a little jenky as the tree can move around pulling on the wire, so I need to put enough slack in to make that a non issue.
