The sprinkler cable I bought a while ago was copper coated steel. Quite
a bit more restive than pure Cu.

Why not use sprinkler system control cable? It's cheap and

Two issues. The "standard" that you can find in the box
stores is only 7 conductor, but you can probably find cable
with more conductors online.

I've used 10 conductor 18AWG sprinkler wire for Ham-IV and T2X, which is
readily available (Google says Home Depot even carries it). With 10
conductors, you double up on two sets of wires for the two high-current
motor lines. Two 18-gauge wires in parallel is about the same as 15 gauge.
