    I'm going to be SLOWLY trying to improve my never to be better
than poor ground radial system, I have about 3000 feet of teflon covered
24 gauge wire that I thought I'd use for the radials since the wire is
too small
to be used for much anything else. My question is, is this too small a
wire 
gauge to use for radials, or doesn't the wire gauge make much difference?
  I can get about 3 radials out to about 120 feet, but all the rest can
only be
50 to 70 feet long, I plan on burying them about 2-3" in the ground, and
will have
about 20 or so when I'm done.
