Re: [AMRadio] copper sheet
I'm not sure, but I seem to recall someone saying that copper flashing is not the best thing to use, because it is not pure copper, but some kind of alloy that combines the copper with another metal, and reduces conductivity. It would probably still be better than something like brass or galvanised steel. Luckily, for my vertical antenna project I had some heavy gauge copper strap about 2" wide. I salvaged it from some kind of rf transformers I picked from a scrap pile. Each one had a piece of strapping spirally wound, about 10' long, which was used as the low-Z winding, while the high-Z winding was made of copper tubing wound on a 6" mica form in solenoidal fashion.

Re: [AMRadio] copper sheet
Lowe's carries the copper flashing in rolls without any backing. It is sold for flashing. Look in the area with roofing and gutter materials.

Re: [AMRadio] copper sheet
Flashing copper can be purchased at any sheet metal shop or roofing company without the asphalt backing and a lot cheaper. K6KWQ Dick Amps by "MORE POWER" - Original Message - From: Bernie Doran<mailto:qedconsulta...@embarqmail.com> To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service<mailto:amradio@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 8:12 AM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] copper sheet I have found an interesting source of copper sheet, Carter lumber carries copper flashing in widths of 10 and 12 inches, 20 feet long, It does have a backing of asphaltic paper that can be removed easily by loosening the roll and soaking in kerosene of diesel for a while, let it set for a day or too if not in a hurry. great for tube connections, etc. I am actually going to use it over the surface of a chassis. I have always wondered about the long term effects of bolted connections to just the plain aluminum. It is not cheap, $59 a roll for the 12 inch, but this is a lifetime supply and much cheaper tan any other source I have found. A second use is that it can be easily formed to ones head, be sure to shave all the hair off first and apply the asphalt/ kero mix that was sloughed off when you removed the paper backing, you did save it, didn't you? works great for keeping out the govt EM signals to control the population and the added copper in ones system keeps 117.5 % of disease away. The extra 17.5 % is because the people near you catch something. I have also been able to isolate the source/ sources of the low frequency hum in my area after many years of study. as has been stated it seems to emanate from everywhere, however that is not true when the scale is reduced to only inches, It was observed that the hum is louder at night and during the winter months. Using very large crystals, that I was able to grow, and wrapped with the same copper, I found that hibernating wood chucks and to a lesser extent ground squirrels are snoring and that is the source! Pear reviewed documents will appear shortly on the internet regarding this discovery. A side discovery with the large crystals suggests that when placed in a particular pattern they can collect the energy of the universe. This has been somewhat slowed by the complete disassociation of the molecules in the crystals when approaching the " resonate" pattern. Research continues on this work with Dr. Pear, a significant government stimulus is expected shortly and upon receipt the program will be greatly expanded with crystals remaining in central Ohio and others in Australia and Argentina. watch the skies!
