[TowerTalk] copper

[N4ZR]

Just as an aside, I was once (too long ago) State Department desk 
officer for Zambia, during a major slump in copper prices, and saw 
first-hand the devastating effects on everyone when a country depends on 
one commodity.  I'm pretty confident that most of the current high price 
simply reflects scarcity (and probably also supply disruptions due to 
COVID).  One can hope...
