Help with Aluminum Wire in Vertical Radial System

Subject: Help with Aluminum Wire in Vertical Radial System
From: cwtrench@sprynet.com (The Trench Family)
Date: Mon Dec 30 14:35:59 1996
I'm in the process of building a "Box Antenna" for 3525 KHz as described
in the January 1997 CQ.  The plans call for two sets of radials.  I have
approximately 1500 feet of #4 Aluminum wire which I'd like to use for
the radials.  My questions are as follows:

1.  I assume that the impedance of this heavy guage aluminum wire is
acceptable for a radial system on 80M.  Is this a good assumption?

2.  I need recommendations on how to permanently connect the aluminum
wire to the radial system.

Please reply to me directly.  73 and have a great New Year!
