Simper ubi sub ubi!
Still laughing....what was the old line, "if you ever get in a traffic
accident...."

, but, as long as you already have
it, why not?

Yup....this stuff is very high tensile strength SS and is approx. 24 gauge.
I'm going to try it, just wondered if there were any caveats before doing so.
The ARRL handbook of course recommends copper, but the SS wire is just about
invisible against the sky. Keeps me out of the dog house (and one of these
days I'm gonna wire that sucker and put in air/heat ala the infamous Baker
Doghouse...at least I can have my radios while therein!!)

Many thanks for the comments (always have to get my daily dose of
rec.radio.amateur.antennas!)
