The copper wire I get at Lowe's on 500 foot rolls is probably

Years and years ago, they used to make a heavy copper plated steel ant
wire, anyone remember it? It was great, took years of abuse, snow, ice
and high winds at a cabin of mine in the high sierras (11,500 ft
elevation) and, like a timex watch, kept on ticking...
Warmest regards,
