I am in the process of setting up the 6' C-band dish and HH 180 motor I received from Comptech. (thanks again!) While I still will have limited LOS, the HOA be damned, they won't be able to see it from the street and the neighbor is cool with it.
The short wire pigtail from the motor reveals two wires maybe 18ga, (a pure guess) and three smaller wires, maybe 22ga (another guess). Only two of the smaller wires are used however.
Any recommendations on where/what to get wire for a 100' run to a General Instruments 650i receiver to move the motor?

Yep, sprinkler wire. Comes in 100' rolls, 18 ga conductors. I use a 7-conductor for my dishes, even though I don't use a servo feedhorn, I put the wires there.

You can get it at Home Depot or Lowes, or anywhere that has sprinkler system parts... :cool:
