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.

FWIW, Davis RF (http://www.davisrf.com/) has it for less...

Davis RF:
PN = LL450-HD
100 ft = $0.42/ft
100 - 499 ft = $0.39/ft
500 - 999 ft = $0.37/ft
999 ft = $0.35/ft


The Wireman:
PN = 554
100 ft = $0.55/ft
100 - 499 ft = $0.44/ft
500 - 999 ft = $0.418/ft
999 ft = $0.396/ft


However, the OP was interested in rolling his own. Again, Davis RF beats
The Wireman on price.
Description = 14AWG, 19 strand, tinned copper clad steel...

Davis RF:
PN = WM523
100 ft = $0.16/ft
100 - 499 ft = $0.13/ft
500 - 999 ft = $0.12/ft
999 ft = $0.11/ft


The Wireman:
PN = 523
100 ft = $0.19/ft
100 - 499 ft = $0.15/ft
500 - 999 ft = $0.142/ft
999 ft = $0.135/ft
