@N1BUG.....
The WD1A is fairly tough, ~200lbs break strength. Tie it to the
supports/trees/insulators/whatevah with a single strand of 20-25lb test
monofiliment fishing line. Tree falls on WD1A, maybe you then need only
replace monofiliment fishing line supports to re hang the wire instead
of splicing/weatherproofing.
That should help cut down on the number of wire splices. It worked FB
on elevated-radials/branch-catchers, right up until I got rid of them
entirely.
