Copper radials could be better.

Ed Laport who worked with Brown, Lewis, and Epstein at RCA wrote on page
121 of "Radio Antenna Engineering":

"The radial disposition of wires in a buried or surface ground system is
dictated by the natural paths for returning ground currents. Meshes opf
crossed wires which were once widely used, should not be used with
vertical radiators because the return paths are not direct and
eddy-current losses in the closed loop circuits of the mesh can be
appreciable."
