Yes, if you tie a piece of copper wire round the structure.

The best material is some old TV co-ax. tear off the outside coating
(many of them are pre-scored) and push (don't pull!) the braided
copper screen off the diastatic.

You'll find the bare screen will stretch to several times the length
of your original cable.

No I haven't but I will now


I bet you will) Btw Rusty, I have saved your advice and thank you.
