Solid vs Stranded Wire
#4

I have noticed in some radios which mostly use solid wire, stranded wire is used where low-amplitude RF signals are connected, such as around the antenna, band switch, and tuning capacitor. I have always figured this was because skin effect would lower the effective resistance of stranded wire at those frequencies.

Sometimes, but not often, braid is used in those locations as well.
