ground. The only issue I have with it is that the wire is stranded and it wicks

You mentioned your wire is solid so you should not have that

always involved strapping radials to a copper strap running along the line
of radial intersection, clipping off the radial wire that runs past the
strap."
Unless there's modeled or measured data, that's the "conventional
>> I have researched Laport's material, and find nothing that compares
multi-tower array performance when using insulated radial wire versus
uninsulated wire when using a bus wire at the radial overlap points. Since
his worked in the 1950s mostly focused on directional broadcast tower arrays
