Is 14 ga electric fence wire suitable for radials?
It's not Litz wire, but is it good enough? It's cheap.

I have 8 radials, 132 feet each down for my 160 meter vertical.
Made out of aluminum electric fence wire.
Seems to work fine.
Jury is still out on how long it will last.
Have had it down for 3 years now.
We shall see.

It'll be fine and will metalize your soil as it breaks down.

I got mine for cheap at Tractor Supply.
