Many replied both on and off list to my request for sources of wire suitable for a flag/loop that sees a lot of flexing between fiberglass poles. The suggestions for where and what to buy ranged far and wide. In no particular order:
Ebay Homedepot/Lowes: THHN; Rainbow wire Davis RF and Wireman: FLEXWEAVE #17 galvanized steel fence wire HRO 14 AWG solid enameled copper Apexjr THHN was the majority suggestion. By the way - DX Engineering sells 14 ga black covered antenna wire as well. The fix I've decided on for a broken flag wire is to use thick gauge black polyester rope to take the tension between the fiberglass poles and wrap wire along it so it won't be be subject to breaking from the accumulated effects of flexing.
