[AMPS] Cheap Source of Copper Ribbon

[Bill Smith]

I happened across a Utility job in progress and
noticed that they were trashing odds and ends lengths
of large cable.  Some of this cable had thin copper
strips wrapped around the conductors inner insulator
as shielding.  It unwraps easily and when straightened
out makes great grounding conductor, etc.  I put one
end in a vice and straightened it out by pulling on it
some.

It's about 3/4 inch wide and cuts with sissors. 

Not bad for free!!
73,
Bill
