Not in my experience -- my neighbor hung a dipole strung with copperweld 
(what you're describing, I think) in some trees with tension on it and 
with pulleys and weights to deal with tree sway. It was on the ground a 
day or two later -- the stuff was quite brittle, and simply broke.

I really hate copperweld, and would never consider using it.

The wireman is a decent vendor, but I buy my antenna wire from big box 
stores.
