Hi Lyle,

>Silver-plated wire might offer a 5 or 10 per cent advantage over plain
copper. 

I've never run across any data for silver plated wire performance. Is this
wire tpically used at higher frequencies? I've seen silver plated open-wound
coils that were designed for maybe 40 MHz.

PS: I just received some #12ga Litz and the Rac measures to be about 3 times
lower than std copper #12 in my TX loop application. This matches the 3X
'rule of thumb' that we concluded a week ago.
