[Antennas] Reusing old power line?

[David Robbins]

that should make nice ground wire.  it could be used for antenna conductors also, though it might stretch a bit.  though its best use if in good condition might be to sell it to someone who needs it for what it is meant for, or trade it to an electrician for some other type of wire you need.

We recently had our power lines run underground to resolve some problems.
Left over is a coil of 5/16" stranded aluminum power line, one bare, two blackinsulated, all three over 100'.
Has anyone attempted to use wire like this for antenna work?
Would enjoy hearing any responses.
TIA, 
John
