Fortunately, I see that a source was found.  However, I am slightly
surprised and mildly disappointed that there was nary a single suggestion
that he should obtain some #14 and tie one end to a bumper and the other end
to a tree and drive until the #14 became #18.  That would have been in the
true ham spirit.

But then he would have had to anneal it before he could wind it around the toroids! Not to mention get a new bumper, given their construction these days.
