I also bought some of that HOME DEPOT gar=bage a couple of years ago for a
project not related to ham radio. When I used it outside to guy a palm tree,
it was rusting in a couple of months. Not sure what SS means in China
(perhaps strictly stupid) but sure not what we think it means.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Magnetic 304 SS- Huh?
Guys,
I purchased a roll of 3/16" SS wire rope which was clearly labeled
304SS from Home Depot.
When I got home, I tested it with a magnet. It was highly attractive.
It gets returned.
I know there are some kinds of SS which show magnetism.
I think the explanation is "made in China" rather than some magical
change in SS 304 properties as it crosses the Pacific.
Am I wrong?
