Unless well<br>&gt;lacquered, it will turn black.<br>&gt;You might as well 
polish the copper (easier is a dip in dilute nitric acid,<br>&gt;or even 
boil in vinegar!), wash well, and then lacquer. If you don't 
care<br>&gt;about the looks, don't bother.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Where heavy silver 
plating comes in useful is if you have a sliding contact<br>&gt;for a 
variable inductor: then you want ehavily silver loaded graphite 
for<br>&gt;the slider.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;73<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Peter

the difference.<br>&gt;Probably not up to 1296MHz, 
either.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;73<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Peter

I assume it could be done at a later date with minor adjustments, if need 
be. Thanks for the reply
