[RE-wrenches] Braided grounding wire

[R. Walters]

Hi August;

For any tilt adjustable or tracking system, that solid 10(or 6) will  
strain harden and break. (We do a lot of pole mounts.)
We tried stranded 6, but found the tinned braid to be more corrosion  
resistant at the connection point to the aluminum.
It looks very commercial/ professional too.
If you're doing a roof mount (non adjustable), the bare solid 10  
would be cheaper.
