I`ll second that! Copperweld was the only manufacturer or vendor my
college allowed to present a tutorial on their product. It was an annual
affair. The faculty obviously thought very highly of the product or was
impressed by the quality of the meals they bought.

I`ve used literally tons of Copperweld wire of many sizes and twists and
attest to its durability in antennas and transmission lines. We put it
together with Nicopress compression fittings.
