Type of wire for antenna?
#2

I don't think that wire gauge matters very much, performance wise. Too fine of a gauge and the wire will become hard to handle. I think mine are 22 gauge. Stranded is more flexible, so is what I use.

I also install an RCA plug at the end of the antenna lead on my radios. Then I have several antenna wires of different lengths that have an RCA jack on one end. Not exactly keeping it original by adding the plug, but it makes it easy to connect/disconnect my radios to an antenna.
