The first wire used was plain , small copper wire vinyl coated. The effective wire is 18 gage teflon coated silver(over copper?)stranded (19strands), pastel blue with two black bands on one of the two main strands. Mil spec. I believe it is no longer available - the guy I bought it from no longher advertises on e-bay. The interior strands are very fine and was installed by a young guy who had worked for the DofD at sensitive installations on classified equipment and he said that this was exactly what was needed. That's why I include a physical description. Since I'm in Naples, Florida I dont need to keep the ground wet even in dry season-the watweer table is about 5 or 6 feet down. The second wire needs to be at least 6 feet away from the first one. Better if 8 feet. Cover the junction of wire and rod with goup that prevents oxidation which I found at Home Depot available at Home Depot and probably elsewhere.
