OK I've used the search function so hopefully this isn't posted somewhere or I'll drop and do 50....

I'm currently an RTO with a LRSC and next month I'm doing a pretty long commo shot (about 2,000 K). I've have had great guidance from teammates and the LRS manual, but I've never done a shot more than 20 K so this makes me somewhat apprehensive. My questions is this: will a dutch long wire work out to that range? And if so, will standard commo wire work or should I 'liberate' something better from the commo tent? Im using the 150 for HF comms...

I've got the LRS manual, some ancient text on commo (circa 1984 but still useful), and slideshows from LRSC.... but nothing on the long wire. Any experience with it?
