I use solid, tinned, 2 gauge copper wire. It is the same as ground wire
supplied to the local power company for use on power line poles.
I also have flat copper strap, but only use that in the shack. Others use
it for radials/tower grounding.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Ground wire between tower and ground stakes
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
