After reading and answering the post about a solid aluminum mast, I decided to Google scrap metal prices. scrap aluminum $1.08 per pound scrap aluminum alloys $1.06 per pound scrap copper $2.24 per pound scrap lead $ .53 per pound A few sample ones. Guess I should have checked steel, but didn't. I think I was recently told $.16 per pound. 73 - Rich, Ke3Q
