Home Despot, regular old 14 AWG THHN copper wire by the 500 foot spool. Works fine for the most part, although it does stretch over time so if you can find (and afford) multi-strand copper-clad steel wire, that's the way to go.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

My most recent antenna (Built for ILQSO Party 10/19/2014) came from a 100 foot roll of #16 speaker wire I accidentally bought on eBay for 12 bucks. It looked like red/black zip cord in the picture and the price was a steal... for zip cord. Worked great for a 40M Portable Dipole and I have 66 feet left! Looks like zip cord in person too!
