I have a lot of left over 17 gauge aluminum wire left over from building an electric fence for my dog. I know that most longwire antennas are made from copper, but would aluminum work well?
Yes, it should work fine. All verticals and beams (yagis) are made from aluminum. Make a good, clean connection to your feed line and seal it up good to keep the weather out.CSL126 said:I have a lot of left over 17 gauge aluminum wire left over from building an electric fence for my dog.
