I just use 2-conductor military field phone wire with the 2 insulated
wires in parallel. There is so little current in each radial (I have
137 radials 100 ft long) that the small partly-steel wire works fine.
The rugged poly insulation should protect the wire forever and makes
zero difference in radial performance. I just stretched it out in my 1
acre field with garden staples and in one year it has been buried by the
thatch. I did solder each crimped terminal, and they are above ground
and protected from the weather.

I’m looking for suggestions for radial wire that will lay as flat as
possible. I realize that’s probably what everyone is looking for,
however
