Waiting till the last minute, isn't that when the best antennas are put =
up?

My question - what would be suitable for radials for my 80 meter Rohn 25 =
+ tubing full size vertical?  Is there any problem with using =
uninsulated copper?  Such as 20 ga?  I plan on a minimum of 64 1/4 wave =
radials laid right on the ground.  I am counting on the grass covering =
them up next season. =20
