3. Several users like to tie the individual radials in a sequence, one to
the next, and twisting together the ends, for both deployment and
re-spooling so that there is one long continuous piece of wire. One or two
users built 'packages' of 2, 4, or even 6 wires all in parallel, especially
where the radial lengths are nearly identical. If one has radial wires of
multiple length, then he/she may want to consider color-coding the wire
groups of different lengths (or using a spray paint the ends) to 'label'
them for next seasons lowband operation.
** Now that is a new concept to me as Ive used partial to full reels of
surplus wire up to 5000'. I wonder what NEC4 has to say about that for
buried, on ground or elevated radials?
