Good morning Rex.  My personal experience FWIW.  I have over 1 mile of the 
stuff underneath my 160 mtr vertical and 1/2 mile underneath an inverted 
"L".  Been using it for years and perfectly happy with it as reliable radial 
wire.

I use aluminum fence wire - 17 gauge - it is cheap and light and you can
tension it with two fingers. It runs nicely with a pole every 100 feet. and
it works.. My reversibles use 4 inch spacing... A 450-600 ohm transformer
seems to about right...

I have not tried using 2 spaced wires as a single wire... It will work, but
there may be subtle problems... I am not in favor of giving Murphy an
unecessary opening for mischief...
