I am using the W7fg line. In my opinion its major advantage is the teflon
insulation.
I might note that the horizontal part of the160 Meter doublet which uses the
16 ga wire
(about 240 feet + feed) broke many times at the insulators . I replaced the
doublet part with #10 copperweld and so far no problems. This could have
been because of high winds, attachment to
trees (even with pulleys and weights). This was inconvenient to say the
least.
No problem with the feed line however.
