OCFD built from 40m of steel strand clothes line and a 4:1 balun
Havent had a lot of time to test since getting it in the air yesterday, but 12 european countries on 10, 15 and 20m is not a bad start!

Ran coated steel wire for over a year but recently changed it to copper not noticed any difference to be honest.
