[TowerTalk] Lightweight Antenna Wire For Portable Work?

All:

I use a 33 ft. fiberglass pole to support an end-fed half-wave dipole 
which I use for portable work. The problem I'm having is that the pole 
bends considerably under the weight of the 66 foot 14 gauge wire.

I'd like to go with 28 gauge or smaller wire that can handle up to 20 
watts and hold up well in the field and was wondering what the group 
recommends.

Thanks,

Tony
