TT: I recently purchased a quantity - actually, a kilometer - of two-conductor Army field telephone wire. I intend to use some/much of this wire to augment the half-dozen radial wires I now have surr

Gene, The small-gauge wire will work fine for radials RF-wise, even at legal limit power, because the current is distributed among so many wires. The only practical consideration is the mechanical st

Yes, after pulling the two wires apart you will have two nice coils of wire with an attitude! I have used thousands of feet of WD1A for reversible Beverages, control cables and even feed line for LF/
