When I mentioned radial systems in my note on the Copperweld
source, I was thinking in terms of the elevated ground plane
"radials" that AA0RS uses on his 160M  4-square.  An application
that suggests the strength of copperweld for longevity.  Dave used
surplus hookup wire and the wires break occasionally.

For ground-mounted radials, regular, soft-drawn copper is certainly
easier to use.
