I'm about to begin building a wire antenna for 80 meters. I'll be using
14ga stranded copper wire. Since it will doubtless stretch once in
service, I'm wondering if I shouldn't try to either pre-stretch it, or
build it a bit short, to allow it to stretch into its proper dimension.
Anyone have any experience with either?
