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
