I struck out with RI Wire; would greatly appreciate other source suggestions.

Probably need 12-16’ to allow for transverse connection of running board antennae and, knowing me, at least one mistake along the way.

Thank you all.

RG59 TV coax is not a perfect match but will work in a pinch.

Thank you Pete; when using the RG59 (or any coax), what is the circuiting for an antenna ?

Shield to chassis and center conductor to antenna feed point.
