If you really need this combination of wire gauge and cannot find it in a
single cable you can purchase two separate cables, one with 6-16ga and one
with 2-14ga wires. Multi-conductor cables are readily available at most
electronic suppliers with a huge selection of conductors and gauges. I
have not used Hy-gain rotators in decades (and it looks like you are) so I
am not sure what your needs are. For my TIC Ring Rotators and Prop Pitch
rotators which are all very far from the shack, I use small multi cable
for the indicators and THHN house wire for the motors.

I am looking to purchase a 500 foot roll of rotor cable, 8 conductor, with 2
conductors of #14 and 6 conductors of #16. The installation will be on the
island of Bonaire, PJ4.

What might be a recommended source for a roll of this type of rotor cable?
Thanks, 73,
Rich, N6KT
