[TowerTalk] Radial wire and deterioration

[Keith Dutson]

I was pulling out some old sheared off T-posts with the tractor yesterday
when I found a piece of electric fence wire that had been buried since 1977.
It was still good and not even rusted.

73, Keith NM5G

Consiider yourself lucky.  Aluminum fence wire in contact with earth here
lasts about 6 months then disappears.  YMMV  indeed!  73 bob de w9ge
