As an employee of RadioShack, I can highly endorse our "mega cable" for the
tank circuit. It's a good, heavy vinyl, very flexible, nice tight
multi-stranded AWG 8 and it comes in black and red. Not too cheap, though at
99 cent/foot. But then you shouldn't need too much. Cat No. for red is
278-1351 and black is 278-1352.

Welcome to the wonderful world of coiling.
But remember...safety first.

Ted

Whew, after reading the list for a while there I was worried about asking 
beginner's questions...

I'm working off of  Jeff Corr's plans for a 4" diameter secondary off a 
15kV/30mA NST, and now that I've got the components assembled, I'm 
worried.  Everybody's talking about high voltage cable, and now I'm 
wondering whether or not I need to make a special trip to get some to 
connect the whole tank circuit together, or whether I can "make-do" with 
something more readily available at the hardware store.  I'm not really 
planning on operating it for any extended length of time or anything.  What 
do you think?
