I have never tried Flex Weave but have got some of this ARMY WIRE its Kevlar with wire, a Green outer sleeve which can be easily hidden outside if need be, its Good stuff you get plenty of it for experimenting. Value for money I think the last bit I bought the length was around 142ft Pete |

Any length of wire should be fine for receiving. A reasonable quality wire lasts linger than a cheap wire. But on receive you do not need to worry about things in the same way you do on transmit, so just get a length from the local hardware store & put up what you can. I normally use something around the size of a core of bell wire or stereo cable. |
