I did NOT find it strong -- I bought and used #12 and #14 bare and 
insulated to try. Every antenna I built with it was on the ground within 
a year.

For lightweight, backpacking antennas, I like insulated #18 or even #22. 
They're not strong either, but I'm talking backpacking, hiking, etc.

Enameled copper is great for antennas that need to be hard to see.
