Lighter gage Copperweld (possibly 16-18 ga) would not stretch nearly as much
and would have less wind resistance.

Subject: Topband: Delta Loop ( 160M list )
Hardy, you said:
"I eventually had to make it with #10 copper wire as even #12 would break
in the 70 mph winds we get here."
Are you talking about solid copper? I am considering making a delta loop
(540ft total) using copperweld. I was planning on feeding it at the bottom
with 600 ohm open wire. ( and homebrew balanced tuner )
