The copperweld in my antenna is 25 or 30 years old; stored inside for the 
middle 15 years.  Don't remember whre I got it, so I have no idea of the 
original quality or copper thickness.  Does the copper layer thin out 
significantly with age?   It stll solders OK after I clean up the surface.  Any 
recommendations on how long the stuff lasts?
