Dwight,

If you have a micrometer just measure the line diameter at about 15 feet in
from both ends.

Put the smaller diameter to the backing.

Those of us without a micrometer can do it with a regular ruler and a pencil.
Just wrap the line around thge pencil in 20 neat close wraps and measure the
width if that section. Then wrap the other part of the line 20 times and
measure it. The difference will be multiplied 20 times, and easy to measure
with a ruler.
