Go to home depot (etc.) and buy a 500 ft spool of solid copper wire with the shiny thin red insulation. Get: 12 SOL THHN or THWN RED T90 NYLON or TWN75 600V, made in USA. American Insulated Wire Corp. THen go to, say parts express or Michael Percy and get some basic spades. Solder, twist, and enjoy. Pretty much the exact same stuff.
Have Fun!
