I have a fair amount of enameled #14 (I think) soft-drawn wire.  (Very 
soft drawn; no good for wire antennas unless they are short.)  Can I use 
this for in-ground radials? I am in the mid-Hudson region of NY; AFAIK, 
there is nothing especially bad about our soil! The enamel seems quite 
tough when trying to prepare an end for solder.
