I'm preparing to (hopefully) sell an older Home Theater Stereo system to help fund a scanner purchase. I have a bunch of speaker wire. 2 sections approx. 40ft each. At some point I may want to do some HF listening, no transmit. The wire is labeled "Monster XP Compact Precision Stranded High Resolution Speaker Cable with Magnetic Flux Tube and LPE Dielectric". The wire also has "20" marked on it assume that means 20 ga. See pic.
IF this wire will do a decent job as a DIY HF antenna I'll keep a 40ft section. If not I'll just throw it in with the system.
So, what say ya'll? Worth the effort or just chunk it?
Thanks, Ken
