I know that this stuff needs to be twisted
every so often to maintain its balance.

Does the maximum (or minimum) frequency
of signal to be carried make a difference in
the length of the distance/length of each twist?

Also, might there also be an interval to reduce
(or eliminate) resonant flutter caused by wind
which could damage or even destroy the feedline?

I need to repair my non-resonant (multi-and) dipole
to get back on the air for Route 66 on the Air which
begins soon.
