just thought i'd chime in..

i didn't have problems with animals but what i did have problems with is regular wires shearing apart. copper really isn't very strong.. a lot of places that sell wire for antennas sell stuff where the wire is braided around basically a kevlar rope and then has the plastic jacket. way way stronger.

i've gotten away with cheap wire quite a few times now but i think i'm tired of monkeying with it and am gonna pay the extra for the good stuff ;)
