Topband: Radial Wire

[donovanf at starpower.net]

iwc2carl on ebay is my favorite supplier of bulk wire. He's very reliable, 
consistently less expensive (including shipping) than the retail stores and 
electrical wholesalers, ships in a few days and you can't beat the 
convenience of delivery direct to your door. He almost always accepts 
an offer of 90% of his asking price.

For radials I typically use 1000 foot reels of 16 AWG stranded for $50.00 
per reel plus ten dollars for shipping.

Solid #12 and #14 THHN on 500 ft spools is stocked by every Home Depot 
and Lowes store I have visited. They even offer a discount (10% on 5 or 
6 spools, I think). I prefer #14 solid because it seems to remain in 
place a bit better than stranded. I would use #18 if it were widely 
available at good prices.
