Apart from the challenge of making reliable connections to aluminium,
are there other "issues" that come to mind in using such wire for
antennas?

I've seen comments suggesting that steele core wire is not a good idea
if you live in any kind of humid climate..... the cover clad develops pin-
holes over time which allows moisture to start the rust process of the
inner steel core. Breakage soon follows..... The comments I received
were regarding copper clad, though. I don't know if aluminum would have
the same potential problem or not.
