Roughly 20%. And you'll loose a bit from the end that breaks where you 
tie it off.

What method do you use to stretch the wire from #8 to #9?Tie one end to immovable 
object, telephone pole or big tree, other to trailer hitch. Drive VERY slowly, with 
second person watching to see when it breaks. For us, it's always near one end.73, Jim
