Topband: Soldering radials?

[Tim Shoppa]

I much prefer stranded 18AWG for my "roll out on top of lawn and driveway"
radials. Stranded is more likely to stay flat on the ground than solid. The
solid likes to remembers the curl of being wound on the spool and sproings
up. It takes many fewer staples to hold the stranded down.
