Jorge, It is a mechanical issue only, dependent on wire type. I used PVC coated copper and even thinner than #17. My 130 radials have been in situ for about 15 years. 73 Clive GM3POI

But what about #17? In $$$ is the half J, so want to know what I am loosing in performance, if any Thanks in advance 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W --- El software de antivirus Avast ha analizado este correo electrónico en busca de virus. http://www.avast.com _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
