[TowerTalk] Flexweave Question

[Artek Manuals]

MY personal experience ( several times) with flexweave that it isn't as 
durable in applications where it is under tension
As John surmised, one strand breaks, then another...etc. In my case 
where I have a couple of wire "T" antennas I have taken to using #10 or 
#12 SOLID for the top and Flexweave for the "drop" wire. Much better 
durability. This last combo survived hurricane Ian this fall
