I've cut a shortwave multiband antenna with the longest segment over 100' (I forget the exact value I used, quarter wave maybe?) but I'm not sure how to support it. I doubt my longest 16ga copper wire is going to be able to hold up the rest of it.

I've the wires running through PVC tubes where each antenna ends to keep them spread. Can I just use a piece of steel cable as the support line or is that going to screw with my reception?
