Hi,
I use the M22759 series for everything I build both at my home shop and lab at
work, a large defense related company.
It's inexpensive and Teflon insulation.
I bought 2000 ft of #18 last week for work and it's right at 12 cents a foot.
It doesn't melt when you solder to it and is easy to work with.
The 22 AWG I normally buy is 3 cents a foot.
We buy from Wiremasters south of Nashville in Columbia TN.
$50 minimum order but no minimum on wire lengths. So you could buy as many feet
of each gauge and color as you would like.
Normally for home use I buy a thousand feet of a size/color at a time.
When I started my work was buying the wire from Digi-Key and it was $60 for 100
ft spool. They no longer do and didn't know about other supplier.
I can connect anyone interested with the rep there I use.

If you want the best, super easy to solder and strip, there is M16878/4.
M16878/5 or M16878/6 Silver plated stranded Copper wire with Teflon
insulation. It is very expensive and I can't see where to buy small
quantities except on eBay where it may be sketchy. /4 is probably most
typical 600V insulated. I got some off spool ends and you may find it at
Hamfests if someone is doing surplus stuff. It does not dry out and lose
plasticisers like PVC, so it is good even if it is old.

My son has been having trouble with the quality of hook-up wire he's
able to buy for his projects. There's clearly a difference in vendors.
I'm sure Elecraft uses the best. Any help here?
