I put down 175 radials, over about a 3/4 year period, from rolls of
insulated #22,24, etc. hookup wire, bought at various flea markets (cheap)
in 500-1000' rolls.
Basic: the more radials, the smaller the current in each wire. With amateur
power levels, you could get away with lots of piano wire..(but not durable!)
Big wire not necessary.
Good DXing.. Dick, W1ZC Mason, NH
