For some reason when I did my ground radials a few years ago I remember
using 00 bare copper stranded wire leading out from my tower to several
cadwelded ground rods and also to the SPG bulkhead at the shack.  Now I see
everyone talking about using #4 and #6 gauge solid wire.  I'm getting ready
to do my new tower's ground system. What size ground radial wire should I
use?
