[Amps] copper vs steel /SS /brass conductors in a HF tank circuit

[Rob Atkinson <ranchorobbo@gmail.com>]

steel and s.s. are ferrous metals; they heat up with enough RF
current.  Too much R.  OTOH if you look at conductive properties of
silver and copper (undergraduate introductory physics book) they are
so nearly the same that copper strap is good enough; silver just looks
pretty and impresses people.
