I suspect I know but a couple questions:

1. How long is the 80 meter version?

2. Would you make a 40 meter version if someone wanted it?

3. It appears that the wire is #14 or #16, if a persone wanted smaller/finer wire, would you do that?

Reason I ask is that for portable work, sometimes "less is more" better! I don't know if you've tried any of the Wireman's 26 gauge flexi-stranded copperweld or not, but it is great for portable use and very, very strong! Only neg is that it is about 13c a foot. It's his nr 534. It weighs less than a pound per thousand.

If you haven't tried it Mike, you might want to. I think it would appeal to me certainly.
