[TheForge] 1/2cm x 2cm copper?

[Grover Richardson]

McMaster Carr, on the web.  Oxygen free and other  Alloy 101 is oxygen 
free, 99.5 to 99.99% pure.

If you aren't too picky about size and shape, you can check out some of the 
microwave houses.  The folks that make waveguide use oxygen free copper for 
the lowest loss waveguide (sort of like water pipe but it carries 
microwaves).  Waveguide comes normally in round pipe and rectangular 
pipe.  Some large sizes too.  If a microwave shop has some left over ends 
somewhere, they might be willing to sell at less than standard costs.
