[OKDXA] Inexpensive Radial Wire

I'd lie to run a few radials for my shunt fed tower. I can't make 
them symmetrical because there's things like a house and a driveway 
in the way, but that'snot terribly critical.

Radial wires (as opposed to grounding wires) needn't be a heavy 
gauge, but I know from experience that aluminum will corrode into 
oblivion in a few years, so I'd like to use some small-gauge copper 
(20 AWG or so). Does anyone have a known cheap source? I'll probably 
need about 1000 ft to start with.

Cheers,

Kim Elmore, N5OP
