That's building wire and the spool looks less than full.

Building wire is good! The antennas here are made from #10. Found a very large full spool of it along the road here a few years back. The spool is 13 1/2" diameter and 10 1/2 high.

Actually, it's very good wire.
''As a young boy chasing dragons with your wooden sword so mighty
You're St. George or you're David and you always killed the beast
Times change very quickly and you had to grow up early
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet
You'll die as you lived in a flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten by no-one
You lived for touch, for the feel of the steel
One man and his honour
The smell of resined leather, the steely iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call
He taught you all he ever knew, to fear no mortal man
And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the screams of evil men
You'll die as you lived in a flash of the blade
In a corner forgotten by no-one
You lived for touch, for the feel of the steel
One man and his honour

Hmm, it says Machine Tool Wire right on the spool.

and Raise-you-168-Strands more :o) ~ RHF
The two Antenna Wires that I like are :
[ Heavy Duty is 'ok' - but Strong-and-Durable is Better ]
* Quality Over Quantity (Size)
"QuietFlex" Antenna Wire by Antennas & More:
Insulated, Strong, Flexible and Durable
http://www.antennasmore.com/wire&.htm
"QuietFlex" #14 AWG Wire has more than 41 Strands tightly twisted
together under its Flexible Insulation making it both Strong,
Flexible and Durable.
"Flex-Weave" Antenna Wire
http://www.radio-ware.com/products/fw.htm
"Flex-Weave" is a hybrid aerial wire that consists of 168 strands
of woven #36 solid copper wires that provide high strength and
extreme flexibility. The most popular version of "Flex-Weave"
is the 'equivalent' of #14 AWG wire size. It can be 'used' for
unsupported spans up to 200 ft (100-150 ft in areas with high ice
and wind loading).
* FLEXWEAVE 14 AWG with extra tough Black Polyethylene jacket.
168 strand copper ultra-flexible antenna wire.
Break strength 149 lbs.
NOTE - This same type of THHN THWN Machine Tool Wire
High-Temp Oil&Grease Resistant in AWG Size # 14 is a
reasonabily good Antenna Wire for most home-made
Antennas used by SHortwave Listeners (SWL).
Question ? WHY ? Use Size # 8 Wire when the smaller size
# 14 Wire of the same type of Wire will get the job done at a
lessor cost and just may stay-in-the-air longer ?
{ Beter Value -and- Better Performance }
hope this helps - iane ~ RHF

I use chandelier wire from Home Depot. I think I paid $10 for 250
feet. I also have a 120' bent long wire made of 20 g tinned and
stranded Teflon coated hookup wire. When I lived on the San Sevaine
(ver, very windy) I used 23 g steel wire for a 120 foot random wire
from a house to a tree with a gallon jug of water for the
counterweight. This survived 3 days of hurricane force winds.
It's real easy to overthink antennas.

What's kind of crazy, 'tard boy? That building wire is good? That my antennas are made from #10 wire? That I found a large spool of it? The size of the spool?

I'd call #8 a young man's wire -- #14 or #16 is a lot easier to wrap
around insulators and diddle with, and should work as well, and won't
be noticed by neighbors as much. I use #26 for one antenna, and it
does fine...
Didn't I see this same #8 wire on eBay about a year ago?

The Man Who Taught His Asshole to Talk
(Excerpt from Naked Lunch)
William S. Burroughs
Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his asshole to talk? His
whole abdomen would move up and down you dig farting out the words. It
was unlike anything I ever heard.
This ass talk had sort of a gut frequency. It hit you right down there
like you gotta go. You know when the old colon gives you the elbow and
it feels sorta cold inside, and you know all you have to do is turn
loose? Well this talking hit you right down there, a bubbly, thick
stagnant sound, a sound you could smell.
This man worked for a carnival you dig, and to start with it was like
a novelty ventriliquist act. Real funny, too, at first. He had a
number he called "The Better 'Ole" that was a scream, I tell you. I
forget most of it but it was clever. Like, "Oh I say, are you still
down there, old thing?"
"Nah I had to go relieve myself."
After a while the ass start talking on its own. He would go in without
anything prepared and his ass would ad-lib and toss the gags back at
him every time.
Then it developed sort of teeth-like little raspy in-curving hooks and
started eating. He thought this was cute at first and built an act
around it, but the asshole would eat its way through his pants and
start talking on the street, shouting out it wanted equal rights. It
would get drunk, too, and have crying jags nobody loved it and it
wanted to be kissed same as any other mouth. Finally it talked all the
time day and night, you could hear him for blocks screaming at it to
shut up, and beating it with his fist, and sticking candles up it, but
nothing did any good and the asshole said to him: "It's you who will
shut up in the end. Not me. Because we dont need you around here any
more. I can talk and eat and shit."
After that he began waking up in the morning with a transparent jelly
like a tadpole's tail all over his mouth. This jelly was what the
scientists call un-D.T., Undifferentiated Tissue, which can grow into
any kind of flesh on the human body. He would tear it off his mouth
and the pieces would stick to his hands like burning gasoline jelly
and grow there, grow anywhere on him a glob of it fell. So finally his
mouth sealed over, and the whole head would have have amputated
spontaneous — (did you know there is a condition occurs in parts of
Africa and only among Negroes where the little toe amputates
spontaneously?) — except for the eyes you dig. Thats one thing the
asshole couldn't do was see. It needed the eyes. But nerve connections
were blocked and infiltrated and atrophied so the brain couldn't give
orders any more. It was trapped in the skull, sealed off. For a while
you could see the silent, helpless suffering of the brain behind the
eyes, then finally the brain must have died, because the eyes went
out, and there was no more feeling in them than a crab's eyes on the
end of a stalk.

Exactly. With dxAce starring in the role of the asshole and YOU as the
monkey on his back. Why not lay off?
