Silver does not oxidize so much as it tarnishes, by picking up sulfur

I once watched a guy build a 1KW linear out of surplus parts. He had this
beautiful silver-plated tank coil, and this idiot SAMDPAPERED the tarnish
off!

Can you say "skin effect", boys and girls? ;-)

* It could have been solid Silver.

* Also, Silver plated wire DOES have favorable skin effect, sanded or
not. *Tarnished Silver wire would not be as favorable.

*Can you say get a grip on what skin effect is?

Ever heard of "surface area"?

* The coil will do the job it is designed for in either case.

At 100% of its original efficiancy?

THAT DEPENDS ON OTHER FACTORS NOT RE3LATED TO THE CHARACTERISTICS
YOU'VE DESCRIBED

SURFACE AREA VS COMPRESION CONNECTORS

WITH TEEETH GRIPS THAT ACTUALLY SINK INTO THE WIRE ANY SPECULATION
CAN BE SAFELY CANCLELED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WIRE IS PIERCED AND
MECHANICALLY GRIPPED INTERNALLY NOT EXTERNALLY

THOUGH THIS TYPE OFCONNECTION IS HARDLY USED WHEN SPLICING CABLES THE
SERRATED TOOTH CONNECTORS ARE FAR BETTER OF COURSE BOLTS AND OTHER
FASTENING DEVICES SHOULD BITE INTO TYHE CABLE FOR A SOLID AND SOUND
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTION...TARNISHSED WIRE DOES NOT WELD WELL AND SHOULD
BE CLEANED THOROUGHLY AND PREPARED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ATTACH WITH
SOLDER

ALL TROLLS STINK AND SHOULD BE DECAPTIVATED FROM THIS USENET PROCEED
AND EXECUTE KILLFILE OF ALL COX.NET USERS AND YAHOO HOMOEROTIC
DIRTBAGS

OR THE RETURN OF THEE MIGHTY WONT VOLT IS EMMINENT
