I still have about 2500' ft left off a old original 5000' roll dynamite wire. Can't find this stuff anymores! 18 guage solid strand plastic-jacket coated dynamite wire makes darn good outdoor longwire antennas indeed! Works well for broadcasting from 550- 1700kc also with 12 watts from a 6L6 or 6550 tube!! Mucho coverage!! I love experimenting on AM broadcast band indeed! It's not always about "receiving"! It's what watts you can "give" on the airwaves, for "test purposes" sometimes! ( hee hee) Antenna tuners work on both ends indeed!
