Re: [TowerTalk] Ground wire between tower and ground stakes

Voting frequently does not select the best choice. (Ref, several 
presidential elections)
Solid wire is clearly superior for corrosion resistance  (hence longer 
life in adverse environment) but is not best if it has to flex. Flexing 
is where stranded is king.
