You can use #14 or #16 stranded wire for the antenna itself. It is best to use bare copper wire for this part, but it can be insulated. The lead in should be insulated, and soldered to the antenna wire. The wire from the lightning arrestor to the ground rod should be #14 insulated also. You can also use a wire from the ground attachment of the lightning arrestor as a ground for the radio if it has a ground terminal.
