Dear Lloyd, For sure I've entertained these debates. Right now I'm using copper top and bottom plates with tin coated copper wire coils. It is not a lot of either copper or tin, but perhaps (this is unproven) there is some bias to the broadcast, which is a good reason to use copper (venus) coated in tin (jupiter) to balance things out. But if there is an effect it seems to be slight, and I've been using this on my farm for going on 17 years. What I did find a few years back when I put a copper sulfate reagent in the well was we all quickly got loaded up with copper. I could taste it on my tongue. I think the difference is one of vehicle and intent. Nevertheless, we are looking forward to the time when we can make all our circuits from gold, the metal of the sun.
