[Antennas] Radial Wires VS a wire or screen mesh

[Edward Dickinson, III]

Not long ago I searched for stainless steel mesh (chicken wire) on the
internet.  I did find some but it was like, 'How many cargo containers of
that do you want?'


Best regards,

Here's another dumb question: Does anyone know if a functional radial system
can be made using fencing wire mesh, say 4 x 4?  If unwelded mesh were used
and laid down the length of either 1/8 wave or 1/4 wave, shouldn't it work
as well as radial wires?  Or is it the radial symmetry around the driven
pole the key?
