16 AWG or 1.29mm diameter copper wire

Post by VK4WTN »

Looking for a source of enamelled copper wire for a hexbeam the specs recommend 16AWG (US size) which should be around 1.29mm diameter. Looking for a roll of about 100 meters. If anyone can help me with a source it would be greatly appreciated

Try Blackburn Electric Wires Pty Ltd 55 Garema Cct. Kingsgrove NSW 2208 Ph: (02)9750 3133 .

I have bought lots of enamel wire from them in the past. They will have what you are looking for.

Cheers, Len
