[Amps] Silver plating

I had an HF tank silver plated and I found no operational difference between 
copper or silver.

I will say that after years of operation in a heated environment,  a silver 
plated tank looks physically better than and copper tank.

My guess is that at UHF,  silver plating will make a slightly measurable 
improvement in efficiency.
