I worked with it in the Army.
Roll it out, roll it up.
Repeat.
Steel strands and copper strands.
A pain.
Personally, I would pass on it.

Subject: [dxlab] OT: WD-1A wire for antennas
I have found some WD-1A field telephone wire for a decent price. I was
thinking of useing this to build a Windom. From what I have read, it
looks like a good strong wire.
My real question is has anyone here worked with the stuff? Will the
copper strands take solder?
