I use 2.5 mm heavy galvanized high-tensile steel fencing wire for my three 2-wire Beverages. It is cheap and easy to find. I purchased a 1500 m roll from my rural hardware store. You can pull it tight with a fence wire strainer, and you can go more than 50 m between supports. There is some loss noticeable in the reverse direction, compared with the forward direction, but there is sufficient receiver gain for it not to be a problem, or warrant a pre-amplifier. 73, Luke VK3HJ.

Wonder what your experience is and also use of steel fence wire.
