Don't know about that, but for almost 20 years, I've been buying the 500 
ft spools of #8 bare copper from the big box stores, and stretching it 
to approximate #9 hard drawn copper.

I tried several configurations of Flex Weave about 20 years ago, and 
built several antennas with it. All were on the ground within a year. 
Another OT ham bought some and had the same results.
