Hi all, can anyone explain to me why silver plating is used to 
decrease loses in tank circuits and so on.  Looking at the figures 
there seems to be a very small difference in resistivity and skin 
depth between silver and copper.  Is is to reduce losses due to 
tarnishing perhaps?

Thanks, Fraser G4BJM
