Agway (farm supply store in NJ) this week had 1/2 mile of #17 aluminum electric fence wire for $40, which is about 1.5 cents/foot. With tax that comes out to $2.06 per quarter wave 160 meter radial.

Note that aluminum does not hold up well with some soil chemistry. A good wire to use for radials is #18 insulated copper. It's cheaper than larger wire, large enough to hold up reasonably well, the

I use aluminum fence wire for receiving antennas but don't think I'd use it for radial wire. In the soil in these parts, unjacketed aluminum wire turns into aluminum oxide powder in just a few years.

Fence wire like this is somewhat springy and brittle and kinks easily. A little hard to work with. It is available everywhere though. Even some Home Depot stores have it. A better aluminum wire (at

As usual, you ask a very good question. I buy and scrounge scrap wire wherever I can find it -- hamfests (what Easterners and MidWesterners call swap meets), surplus stores, etc. Out here in Silicon

I was lucky enough to come up with 8 to 10 spools of this stuff. Plan to use it for a radial field for my transmitt antenna at some point. Biggest problem I see is not being able to solder it to a g

Cecil, you just need the proper flux to solder stainless steel. I use Duzall and it works great. Of course it is an acid flux and you should wash it off after soldering. You can usually find it at we

As I said the lashing wire can't beat copper for conductivity but it is usable for long Beverages especially over poor ground. It would also IMHO improve a ground system as any steel conductor would
