With just two members reporting issues or potential issues with the date, it appears that there are no widespread concerns for people with Go QRP night falling on the same day as Jock White Field Days. It also seems likely that any alternative date proposed would likewise be unsuitable for a similar number (1-2) of group members.
As such, February's GO QRP night will proceed as scheduled.

Great link to the DOC wire. thanks Stan,
ZL1RKO just received some, and see how it is actually braided wire, not twisted. The yellow bits are plastic that sticks there when stripped (which Charles reports is a bit of a bugger)

"Hard drawn copper has significantly higher tensile strength than soft annealed copper and is used as overhead wire whereas the soft annealed copper is flexible and has somewhat improved conductivity over hard drawn copper conductor.
Annealed copper - Tensile strength 300-400 ksi (kilopound per square inch). Conductivity 100.00 % IACS
Hard drawn copper - 500-700 ksi. Conductivity 97 % IACS"
