[TowerTalk] Aluminum in the ground

[Pete Smith]

Is there a chemist or other relevant professional out there who can clarify
the relationship between soil pH and corrosion of various radial materials.
 I've been told that aluminum will be relatively long-lived in acid soils,
while copper is preferable in alkaline earth.  Is this for real?
