> "Whereas the discussion on silver plating is very interesting, one
wonders if silver plating is really necessary in view of the experiments
done by Larry, W0QE."

Those tests do not take into account all reasons for silver plating. 
Yesterday,  I addressed just one issue where plating has affected coil Q on 
one type of roller inductor.  It had nothing to do with skin effect of the 
silver plating.  Rather, maximum conduction is necessary to maintain good 
coil Q on that type of inductor, especially on the low bands.
