I have seen chicken wire at the local stores that is coated with galvanize.  I forget the amount of galvanized wire, but it was given to me and the guy said this should make great redials!  Well it did for only 3 nights after laying down thousands of feet of that junk!  I am not sure if it was the rain or the soil content, but it oxide over just a couple of days.  I kept having to fool with the tuning cap and then noticed this white stuff all over the wire.  Not only was it hard to mess with, it was a complete disaster!  However I was young and very little money to spend on the hobby back then.  Lesson learned, don't mess with fence wire even if it is given to you!
