I concur, I used Romex which had 2 conductors plus a ground. Perhaps he
meant that the ground wire should be the same size as the two conductors
but I am not sure how much control you have over this using standard
cable. While adding this circuit I also ran a dedicated 120v outlet for
the radio and rotators.

I do not understand the need for three wires plus ground. For a clothes
dryer outlet a neutral is required to get 110VAC from one of the phases to
the neutral. But for amps you only need both phases and a ground. The
plugs are three wire, not four.
