It depends a lot on the quality and thickness of the galvanization. I had two ham friends help me dig up one of the back stays from the 1920's Radio Corporation of America radio relay station antenna here in Belfast. (1920 patent date) The back stay is now at the Belfast museum, in great shape - no rust.


I'm looking at 2-in x 2-in galvanized welded wire mesh as a ground
screen alternative. The question is, does anyone have experience with how
well something like this would hold up?
