Hi!

 

See the below Amazon link for this 16 gauge copper wire I am thinking about
for use in making radials for a vertical antenna.  16 gauge is thicker than
the 18 gauge recommended by MFJ for radials, so I like that.  However, 1)
this wire is "stranded" versus "solid" and 2) "insulated" versus "bare".  I
am not sure if "stranded" is the same as "braided", or if it matters if
radial wire is solid/stranded/braided.  Also, I understand that it does not
matter if the wire is bare or insulated.  Is this true?
