Topband: Aluminium antenna wire

["Tom Boucher" <tom@telemetry.demon.co.uk>]

Does anyone have any experience of using alumin(i)um wire for antennas? My 160m 
antenna is supported by tall trees which tend to move in opposite directions 
with the wind and the antenna life expectancy using multi-strand copper is 
short! I bought a 400 metre reel of 1.6mm Al wire from the local farm supplier 
for 20 quid (35 dollars). Resistance is specified as 0.065 ohms/metre.
