It's for an RF inductor in an existing power combiner design and dimensions
and thermal properties are critical. It's handling several kilowatts  at
13.6 MHz. (I'm sure Terry has seen the design..it's from the DEI folks)
Before we blow up the transistors in our own design at 5 MHz, we want to
make sure we've got them working in the factory specified application. (and
no, we're not building a Texas/California Kilowatt 20m linear!)

For what it's worth, Home Depot doesn't have solid AWG10 with insulation.
Just stranded.
