Eric, from a practical standpoint #14 in better than #26; probably better 
than the #18 I used in my 'vertical period'. Since the current in each wire 
is so low #26 would probably work OK but would be highly suseptable to 
breakage, as was my #18. BTW it's not "high RF voltages" that should be 
considered. It's the amount of RF current.
