Use Spectra line sheathed with dacron. Have #14 soft copper stranded
inserted beneath the sheath. The Spectra is extremely strong and will
carry the tension load. The copper is your conductor. Spectra even as
small as 1/8" should handle this task well.

Copperweld 14AWG or 12 AWG. It has a steel core for strength and copper
cladding for RF conductivity. It is difficult to work with, and apparently can
rust if the cladding gets nicked, but is the strongest option for ham antennas.
Just lost all my wire antenna's in the hurricane just
passed. The wire broke in the wind. What should I
purchase to replace what is lost?
