Dave,
Using aluminum wire is not necessarily bad trade for antenna loading
coils. Its lighter, so you can make the wire diameter larger for the
same weight to compensate for the lower conductivity.
And you can spot weld it to the aluminum element without any corrosion
issues. Overall, I think you could make a more reliable, equal
performing antenna with aluminum wire and aluminum elements than a mix
of aluminum and copper.
