Hello
Thinking in a 4 SQ, buried radials, 60 or more on each vertical
What is the difference in performance between installing radial wire size
#14 (2.08 mm2) or #17 (1.04 mm2) ?
#14 is the size that DXE sell, so I think is a good size for radials. But
what about #17?

The only real difference when using reasonable-gauge sizes is in physical
durability. Electrically it makes little difference since you effectively have
a large number of radials in parallel so each one carries only a relatively
small percentage of the overall current in the system.
I use 18

I just saw on eBay a 3' piece of barbed wire dated 1878 for sale for
$9.78 which comes up to $3.26 per foot! I guess this stuff gets more valuable
with age like some good Uruguayan wine.?

I agree that mechanical durability and environmental factors are the
limit on the size and type wire for both radials and antennas.
In my limited experience, the use of insulated wire

Not enough to matter, but it certainly would not hurt. For next year,
though, I would try to use more radials. Having them elevated is good,
and elevating them even more is better.
73,
You could use the 18 gauge insulated stranded CCS (Copper Clad Steel) wire that
Davis RF and The Wireman sell. The PE jacket is a matte black color and not
very visible from any distance away. It's pretty strong too, and not very
expensive. I use it a lot for wire antennas.
