Product Description
Heavy Duty Antenna Wire Military Green (50m)
A bargain price for 50 metre (160 ft) drums of the new Heavy Duty version of our popular Military Green wire. This heavy duty wire has a stranded tinned copper conductor and a UV-stable PVC jacket. It is ideal for making permanent antennas. The 50 metre reel size is perfect for making most HF antennas (such as an 80m dipole). Our exclusive Millitary Green cable jacket colour is unobtrusive in many applications - perfect for antennas, radials and counterpoises. With a resistance of less than 1 Ohm/50 metres, it's great for high power use too!
***ONLY AVAILABLE FROM SOTABEAMS***
This wire is manufactured in the UK to our own specification.

Heavy Duty Antenna Wire Military Green (50m)
Posted by Will GM0HKS on 11th Mar 2018
I ordered this product as I was wanting to build a W3DZZ antenna. Fast delivery and well wrapped. The antenna uses 2 x 7Mcs traps to facilitate 80 metre operating. The traps are fairly heavy and I have not noticed any significant stretching of this multistrand wire. The colour helps it fade in to the background too so, all in all a very good product. My W3DZZ works a treat without an ATU on 40 and 80 metres so its been a no brainer for me. Thanks Chris

Great for stealth antennas
Posted by Steve W9XF on 27th Nov 2017
Extremely fast delivery to the US. Thank you! I'm very impressed at the small diameter of this wire. It's hard to see unless one is looking for it, which is great for discerning neighbors. I was also impressed with its power handling capability (1,,000 watts) as there are times when I need QRO to make a contact. Being insulated, I was also able to hang it in trees without worrying about it making contact with branches. I definitely recommend it.

Excellent Wire!
Posted by Nick on 5th Oct 2017
I bought the Heavy Duty variety to build an inverted L random wire antenna as I thought it would stand up to the elements a bit better. Also with a larger diameter wire that means more metal in the air which I figured can only be a good thing. The increased weight does put more tension on my mast but so far it seems to be fine and not too saggy. It is also thin enough to pass through the gap of my UPVC window frame (which I did initially before building a 9:1 UnUn and drilling a hole through my wall!).
When I build wire antennas in the future I would certainly use this again.

Homebrew attic antenna
Posted by Trevor Taylor on 13th Sep 2017
My first order from Sotabeams. Ordered this cable and I'm very happy with the quality of the cable and the speed of delivery. Will be using Sotabeams again for sure.
Thank you

Good antenna wire!
Posted by Tony on 29th Aug 2017
Pleased with this stuff: Good flexibility, solders easily, not too heavy. Currently fiddling with alternative wire antennas (particularly verticals) and this wire seems ideal - and not badly priced, either.
Can't comment on whether it's likely to stretch over time, but I don't anticipate any problems given the way I'm using it.
As always, good packaging and prompt delivery from SOTABeams.
Tony, G4TRY

Good Quality Green Wire
Posted by Andrew on 9th Aug 2017
Purchased to build 20-15-10m fan-dipole for loft in inverted V configuration. Strength seems good.
Although my application is indoors it looks a good colour for stealthy outdoor applications.

I have purchased two rolls of this wire, and find it excellent for my antenna production, and great value for the money..

Home brew Fan Dipole
Posted by Gary Kirk on 22nd Nov 2016
As a recent M6 I am trying to get to grips with antennas for portable use. I already have the Sotabeam Band Hopper 40-20, and an excellent antenna it is too, however I wanted to try making my own.
My build would be a 40-20-10 resonant tri-strand dipole and I bought this antenna wire for the job. It was an excellent purchase and really did do the job very well. Strong, lightweight and pretty much tangle free and the antenna is used in an Inverted "V" configuration with great success. The top strand is very strong and easily take the weight of the antenna and I have every confidence when putting a little strain on it. I look forward to lots of use come next spring and summer.

Excellent product and delivered on time
Posted by Nick on 7th Jul 2016
My first (but not my last order) from Sotabeams. Ordered this cable and I'm very impressed with the quality of the antenna wire, thick PVC and stealth colouring. Will be using it for my SWL. Thanks again!
