[TowerTalk] Long Wire Sag

[Rob Atkinson]

I've been told a lot of the copperweld problems today are due to
modern copperweld plating being cheap and no where near the thickness
of your dad's copperweld.  The wire from say, 70 years ago is
nonexistent now and what you buy today has minimal copper.  It's kind
of like the difference between steel hardware from the store that's
been zinc electroplated, and the good hot dip galvanized hardware from
manufacturers like Rohn.
