[TowerTalk] Radial wire and antenna spacing

[Pat Barthelow]

Re Cheap radial wire...

Find a friendly Telco guy, and scrounge some multi pair telco cable, or find 
their 'dump' and do same..
Xacto Knife; split the jacket, and untwist the spiral wrapped wire... lots 
of wire there...
If you were in or near Monterey, we could chop some off for you from a 3000+ 
ft surplus  spool of the stuff...
