    I would also use at a minimum #14 solid for the coil turns...maybe even #12 or a 2KW-rated piece of Air-Dux coil, suitably strain-relieved and shielded from the weather by a non-metallic, lightweight enclosure.

    I would be interested in what brought your wire down? I always heard that there is a downside to antenna coils as far as droop and weight stress on your wire. That is if you are not looking to trip Santa up anytime in the near future.
