Hi,
    I am considering using Aluminum service drop wire (3/0 gauge) as a
conductor for an LF transmitting loop. I know that the conductivity is
not as good as copper but it weighs so much less that I can use a
larger diameter conductor.
Has anyone tried this? How would it hold up when flexed by the wind ?
Other thoughts?
