One really stupid question. I went to get grounding wire today which was right next to the guy wire. My idiotic self grabbed galvanized steel guy wire without realizing it until after I got back to work. Is it possible to use the galvanized steel guy wire as a ground for my mast?

It's 4 strand, 20 gauge wire. Thought I could twist it to double-up the thickness but not sure if it's idiotic to bother with it.
I would return the guy wire and get solid copper ground wire, copper conducting an electrical charge much better then steel to a ground rod...
