I personally think solid wire is better, but when you're talking about #2 
solid, stuff that big gets pretty difficult to work with.  It's as big around 
as my little finger and requires a lot of strength to manipulate!  Stranded is 
easier to bend.   I've seen both used, and both work fine in Cadwelds if you 
want a welded bond to your ground rod.

Hello TT's



I am getting ready to order my ground wire. I have seen conflicting
information about the type of wire to go between the tower and the ground
rods.



I had been planning on going with Solid AWG 2, but then I saw some pictures
of folks using stranded.



Could I get a vote on which type of wire is commonly used for most amateur
tower applications



Thanks
