Hello,
I have some telephone jumper wire which I want to add
to my radials. 
This is basically a twisted pair of very thin (0.1mm
??)wire.
The wire has a plastic jacket.

Should I keep the 2 twisted to 'double the diameter'
of the copper. Making better conductivity and less
loss. 
Or should I separate them and get 2 radials for the
price of 1.

Mechanically I'm not to worried, its more of an
electrical question. 
There must be a point where too thin is too thin ...
Thanks again for your input,
