I don't think you will want to use copperweld of any size for open

Even with closely spaced spreaders, it will still be a mess.


The Wireman has #14 stranded "copperweld" in the popular
450 ohm ladder-line format.

Hi, Cecil.
Yes, but this is manufactured and I thought N3QE was wanting to home
brew the feedline. I don't think one person can control two strands of
copperweld while they attach spacers!
