I'm looking for a source of radial wire. Possibly I can order over
the internet. Do you have any suggestions?
Tnx es 73 de Ken, W8LU


I went to one of the local electrical supply places (where the electrical
contractors buy their stuff) and found them quite willing to sell me
high-quality ground rods, wire in bulk, PVC conduit for underground cable
runs, etc.

I bought 1500 ft. of #12 black insulated solid wire for a very reasonable
price. (I'm putting down 32 33ft. radials for a 5BTV, with a ground plate
from DX Engineering.)

Check around ... not all of the large distributors will sell to the public,
but many will - at wholesale prices.
