Big antennas, high in the sky, are better than small ones, low.

Gene -- And others who asked:

Plymouth Rubber Co., Inc., Canton, MA,  makes a product they call Premium
85 CW, catalog Number 4240.

It is 3/4  inch x .0085 in. x 66 feet (19 mm x ,216 mm x 20 m) and  the
CW stands for Cold Weather.  They say it is good to ZERO degrees F (18
degrees C).

By the way, Plymouth also makes "BishopSeal" a product like CoaxSeal, but
in a wider roll, and widely used in the cable TV industry (which is where
I learned about it).  I just LOVE BishopSeal and use it on all of my
splices:  tape, BishopSeal, tape.
