Hmmm ... seems to me that ONE TIME less means it will carry NO CURRENT. What in heck does '2.5 times less' mean? I'm lost! [perhaps you meant 1/2.5 AS MUCH and 1/6.4 AS MUCH and 1/16 th AS MUCH?] Don N8DE Gary Schafer wrote: #6 wire is often recommended to carry the current to ground. #10 will carry 2.5 times less. #18 will carry 6.4 times less than #10. #18 will carry 16 times less than #6. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
