Europa-List: copper dipole

[Paul Stewart <europa@pstewart.f2s.com>]

Anyone answer me this one.  Having spent ages soldering co-ax onto  
the copper tape supplied by the factory, I've just broked the tape in  
half!  Would a piece of copper wire be of similar efficacy as t he  
copper tape - it would certainly be easier to solder to.  I'm  
guessing its the length of the dipole that's important rather that  
width or section - true or false.
