FLEX-WEAVETM is a sophisticated hybrid aerial wire. Its new innovation provides rope lay construction strength and high flexibility. It can be tied in knots to insulators and untied for repeated use. FLEX-WEAVETM is sometimes referred to as "wire rope" or "jewelers rope". It will not kink or rust out as will copper-clad wire. This flexible wire has also been used for rapid deployment, spool-out, military aerials.
Dean, WA6PJR says "That's what all antennas should be made of" and Press Jones, N8UG, The Wireman Co. and "Guru" of wire and cable, distributes FLEX-WEAVETM for us, saying "The workhorse .... rope type construction for strength, ultra-flexibility, and easy handling". NOTE: We recommend the use of #12 for spans in excess of 170 ft (one leg of a 160 meter dipole), however, #14 has been used on continuous spans to 275 ft. Use PVC jacketed (#14 or #12) in salt air environments or where rubbing of tree limbs, etc. will occur. |
FLEX-WEAVETM comes in #14 (168
strands of #36 wire) or #12
(259
strands of #36 wire). It is excellent for quads, dipoles, long wires,
and rapid
deployment (spooled-out) antennas. Highly UV resistant PVC jackets of
clear,
black, and camouflage green are also stocked as well as bare wire.
FLEX-WEAVETM is the "Cadillac of aerial wire". It has been
written about in all amateur radio publications since its introduction
in 1989.
This revolutionary product has been used by thousands of hams,
commercial
firms, and government agencies.The following Aerial Wires are available in copper clad, tinned copper clad, and hard drawn copper forms from DAVIS RF
