Hi Jim!

GLB was right about QQ-W-343, but it has been canceled and replaced with:

Wire, Electrical, Copper (Uninsulated)
FSC 6145
Federal Specification QQ-W-343G, dated 18 April 1997, is hereby canceled.
Future acquisition for this material should refer to commercial item
description (CID) <A HREF="http://www.dscc.dla.mil/Programs/MilSpec/listdocs.asp?BasicDoc=A-A-59551">A-A-59551</A>, Wire, Electrical, Copper (Uninsulated).

Which can be had for your downloading pleasure at:

If you need to buy this wire, it can be had by contacting someone at:

I know the problems with tin plated bus wire, you try and solder to it, the
tin dissolves and leaves you with bare copper, switched to silver plated wire
and the problem went away...
