Try Georgia Copper.
Their ads suggest that they may carry/supply what you are looking for. You
might also check with some of the suppliers of antenna tuners. They seem to
use the flat wire (often silver-plated) that you are looking for.

Try a large transformer shop. 5kw and up transformers often use it.
I've bought round magnet wire from temcoindustrialpower.com, but don't
see rectangular wire on the web site, so give them a call for a link.
