Plain solid copper wire (not stranded, not insulated, not copperweld,
not stainless steel) is the best. Commercial copper radial fields have
been in the ground without any degradation, some pre-WWII. No need to
look elsewhere.

John and all,
What to do to minimize corrosion over time when applying
coppermaterial for
radials ? Plastic insulated wire ?

I guess stainless steel wire is THE answer to a maintenance free
system. Not
that maintenance free exist but who doesnt want to minimize stress on
the
back.

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