J.Mark, I used solid strand #12 coated copper regular household wire.  I think the length was about 24 inches.  I stripped off a small place near the bottom to solder the antenna wire from the unit to and then covered that with heat shrink tubing.  At the top of the antenna wire I put a little liquid electric tape to cut down on corrosion starting on the wire.  They've been going nonstop now for over 4 years.
