[qrp-l.org] light weight antenna wire?

[MAXXOUT2 at aol.com]

Sam,
Davis RF has some really thin insulated  30 strand copper weld wire good for 
70 pounds
1,000 feet just about tips the  scale at 1 pound
.14 cents per foot and I think when I picked some up you had  to buy a 50 roll

I'm considering  top loading a 13.5 foot antenna I have here.
The top 103 inches is a  stainless whip.
Any suggestions what wire I could use
to hang four 9 foot  wires from the tip down at a 45 degree angle?

I don't want the wire to  break,
but also don't want the weight to cause the tip to try to lean  over.

This will be located in a place I can't just run up and repair any  problems,
so it needs to be a build it, tune it, and forget it, type  setup.
