[Boatanchors] Silver plated copper wire.

[Randy Berry]

I found the wire I was looking for. I believe it's soft tinned copper.
The entire vented enclosure is only 7" square and 3 " high.  So I
don't need a lot of wire. It will be 4 150 watt 50 ohm resistors in
series-parallel, with forced air cooling if needed.
