I know this is a dumb question but what are some of the opinions about the correct wire to use for an antenna. I have numerous Philcos that need a long wire antenna and I'm getting tired of hooking and unhooking my alligator clip test wires to run each one. I would just like to buy a bulk role of wire and make antennas for each one and just leave it at that. Is there a curtain gauge that works the best? Stranded or solid? How long? I've read 10 feet is a good starting point. At some point when we move to the country I want to install a true "long wire" (100+ feet) from the house to a shed or barn and then have a hook up in the house. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
