OT: Hookup Wire

Slightly off topic but definitely ham radio oriented and my only ham radios are all Elecraft gear.

I am looking for stranded copper hookup wire, say #20 to #24 with very flexible insulation. I have some of this now, like about 7 inches, but I need more. I do not know any brand names or even what this is called. A friend of mine thought it might be the Teflon insulated wire.

Can anyone suggest some brand names or products that I can search on-line? Out-of-band responses please to keep this OT topic from crowding up the forum.

Thanks,

73, phil, K7PEH

Re: OT: Hookup Wire

You might think about buying some 8 stranded rotator cable and stripping
out the outer bundling insulation. Most likely you might even have a few
feet of that in the old junk box. And, You will get 8 colors.
