Topband: radial wire size

[Clive GM3POI]

Jorge, It is a mechanical issue only, dependent on wire type. I used PVC coated copper and even thinner than #17. My 130 radials have been in situ for about 15 years.

Hello

 

Thinking in a 4 SQ, buried radials, 60 or more on each vertical

 

What is the difference in performance between installing radial wire size
#14 (2.08 mm2) or #17 (1.04 mm2) ?

 

#14 is the size that DXE sell, so I think is a good size for radials. But
what about #17?

 

In $$$ is the half J, so want to know what I am loosing in performance, if
any

 

Thanks in advance

 

73,

Jorge
