[Elecraft] OT: Handling Copperweld wire

[Ken G Kopp]

Use caution when working with any kind of copper-plated steel wire.  In the
process of bending or forming the wire be careful not to "nick" or
otherwise damage the usually very thin outer cladding of copper.  Don't
drag it over the rough edge of a roof or across the ground.  Any break in
the plating will allow moisture to rust the steel core and cause failure of
the wire.

Been there, done that ... 😁
