Short runs - that being under 65 feet - I make with stranded #12 using a
PE UV-safe insulation. I used to use all kinds of the flavor of the week
of proper antenna wire. I have never had a 75 meter dipole using any
kind of #12 wire break from a weather induced load (ice/snow). I do not
use anything less than #12 on antennas.
If there is any stretch, I have not seen it - but, I also have an
antenna tuner. So, I might have never noticed.
My current primary NVIS for 75 has been in the air for nearly 20 years.
This summer it will be replaced with all new everything.
