I've been using plain old 14/2 house wiring for years for  rotor cable, 
especially for long runs.  While the life expectancy for it in  sun drenched 
climates is probably a little more than ten years, when buried  either in 
conduit or direct, it can last longer than that.
 
I have used it in FL and KH6 with good  results.
 
At my new station I'm using it.  The old 14/2 stuff  that's weathered?   
It's easily stripped into three conductors and  makes great radials.
