Neon sign wire works well. I think it's about the same stuff as solid conductor spark plug wire.

A source of the spark plug wire might be from antique tractor enthusiasts. I recall a few years ago at the local "threshermen's convention" some guy was selling spools of it that had been made up to look just like the original, for authentic replacement. It had a thick rubber insulation, which was covered with a laquered fabric. I bought a roll of it just for transmitter work.

Don't use rubber HV meter probe wire. I have used that in the past, and the transmitter heat eventually dries out the rubber causing the insulation to become brittle, develop cracks and eventually fail.
