I've got wire dipoles strung up all over my property, and they are made from whatever wire I could get my hands on free of charge.
My 40 meter dipole uses solid copper that I stripped from @12-2 electric cable.
My 20 meter dipole, and 80 meter random wire antennas are made from 10 gauge extension cord stripped down to single conductor lengths. All my wire antennas have the insulation on them, I save the bare copper for grounding wire.
My next antenna project will probably be a 10 meter dipole, and I still have wire left over from that 10 gauge extension cord that I will use.....
