Nope!unless it might be mega-kink per inch sq....hey; mega-kink per
inch sq. that might wind up being something close to 1.5" copper pipe
which would be great. Just figure up some means of support for it.
This is a winner Ken. We can name it the Kenneth Kilo-Killer-Kink.

Does a knot in insulated 16g stranded wire pose a problem
for a dipole at HF freqs? This is a 66' FD dipole, coax fed,
operating 40-10m with a KAT2 autotuner. The knots are 1/2"
away from the feedpoint & lock the antenna to it's center
insulator.
