Crystal Radio Supply

Be cause of Polyethylene's quality  as insulator it is one of the favorite insulating materials of experienced

crystal radio enthusiast.

This is my all around favorite crystal radio antenna wire for these reasons.

1. One piece antenna and lead wire. No lossy lead wire to antenna connection.

2. Because of its low loss insulation it works well in stealth antenna situations. (Like running it around the fascia

     board of a house.)   Just staple it on inside reveal of the fascia boad and it is out of sight. 

3. Flexible 7 strand copper

4. Super tough cross-linked polyethylene  XLP insulation protects your copper from the elements.

5. sunlight-resistant

6. Temperature rating 90° C in wet and dry locations.
