Hi guys,
I would like to use a (not so) random wire antenna to transmit on HF
band.
What is the power (watt) that I can use on my rig to feed the antenna?
Of course after tuning it.
I can use it full power (100W) or no?
For 100W which kind o wire is good?


Hi Andrea,

100W will work just fine. Use copper wire with a diameter of 1mm or
more.
