I also have had no issues with THHN for antenna wire, even 14AWG works fine. A 500ft roll is $50-$60. Plus unlike Copperweld it holds up well in corrosive environments.

I've switched over to #12 THHN, and love it so far.  I have a high full
wave 80M diamond quad loop made from it with fairly high tension on the
top half and have not noticed any lowering of resonant frequency so far.

Solid wire is nice cuz it's easy to clean if you need to re-solder anything.
