[TowerTalk] 500 ft. rolls of #14 at Home Depot for $14?

[RICHARD BOYD]

Okay, I should be in Home Depot in the next couple days and will report back 
on the current price in Bowie, Maryland.  hi.

I have a few spools here in the hamshack.  It is labeled "14 Black solid 
copper E23919G max. 600 volts 500 ft 15 mils. insulation, THWN or THHN or 
AWM, VW-1 rated."
The bar code number appears to be 0-32886-22300-6 which I suppose is the 
Home Depot stock number.
