Or adjust the length between CW and SSB, etc or use it in a corrosive
atmosphere. I could not get copperweld to last very long at P40A. Perhaps
there are better versions of it but I switched to inexpensive THHN and never
had a wire break.

My experience is different.

I use #10 copperweld between two very sway-prone Jeffery Pines. It has been
up twelve years without issue.

The trick with copperweld is not to nick it.
