Hi,
Any reason I should not use stranded/tinned/insulated marine wire for my cb dipole antenna?
Any thoughts on the tinned/insulated copper wire not radiating as well as an insulated copper wire?

I don't know of any reason why not to use tinned wire, insulated or otherwise. I would read up on insulated wire for use as antennas, the length needs to be longer (just a couple inches) because of it.
