Jorge, It is a mechanical issue only, dependent on wire type. I used PVC coated
copper and even thinner than #17. My 130 radials have been in situ for about 15
years.

Subject: Topband: radial wire size
Hello
Thinking in a 4 SQ, buried radials, 60 or more on each vertical
What is the difference in performance between installing radial wire size
#14 (2.08 mm2) or #17 (1.04 mm2) ?
#14 is the size that DXE sell, so I think is a good size for radials. But
what about #17?
In $$$ is the half J, so want to know what I am loosing in performance, if
any
Thanks in advance
73,
Jorge
