Hot Rope Antenna Wire for Portable Amateur Radio Antenna

It’s a rope and it’s a wire all in one. Perfect for knapsack, DXpedition, Kite / Weather Balloon and Field Day antennas. The outer conductive braid is equivalent to 5AWG wire!

Think about it for stringing up a quad or hex beam!

Use it as a conductive rope, tying it in a knot using a thimble for protection, with a breaking strength of at least 475 pounds!

Use it by opening the tinned copper braid a few inches from the end, and bringing rope out of the hole. Anchor the rope to pole, tree or tower and solder the braid to wire for an end fed long wire with the OD of a 5 AWG wire!

Use it as a dipole and carefully cut the braid at the center insulator without cutting the rope and comb out enough braid to solder or wire nut to ladderline(or coax, balun, etc) from the shack, giving you a tin plated copper dipole with legs the size of a 5 AWG wire – about 3 times the radiating surface of a 14 AWG copper or CCS wire!
