[TowerTalk] Coper clad steel

[David Gilbert]

I'm sure that is good stuff, but at $64 per 1000 feet for bare #16 you 
can do almost the same for #14 wire at Home Depot, especially if you 
include shipping.

There is a guy on eBay who fairly regularly sells #18 solid copper 
(insulated, though) for $20 per 1000 feet, which is not that much above 
the raw cost per pound of copper.  Shipping is extra, of course, but he 
is very good to work with for reduced shipping on multiple reels.  I 
bought 6,000 feet and paid about $145 total, including shipping across 
most of the U.S.   I have no affiliation with him ... just a satisfied 
buyer.
