When I build an antenna, can I use coat hanger wire for elements? What kind of metal is it? It seems pretty sturdy. Does it solder well?
Sorry if it's a dumb question. I was just curious, and google has very little to offer about the electrical properties of coat hanger wire.
I suppose I should take my fluke to a length and get some resistance measurements.
(And yes, I'm aware that striped #10 Romex is "best", but I'm still curious! )
