OK !

I was thinking as a field receiving antenna that is easy to roll out and
re-roll. thick wire isn't good for that

I think you mean "tinned" wire. It's considered stranded, not solid.
You might want to re-think using it for antennae as 22 gauge is a bit
thin for that. The best antenna wire is usually something like
copperweld - that's a steel wire (for strength) with a copper coating
(for conductivity). Most folks use #13 or #14. 22 gauge is normally
used for hook-up wire.

it is strands of wire made into a "solid" strand and seemingly silver

together. This is the way it seemed to me after I stripped an inch of it.
I
bet a wire expert could explain this better !

Seems like a good price, but what the heck is multi strand solid wire?
I
might be being dense here!
