Easy enough to find out- Take a magnet with you!
Years ago, had to deal with wire thieves, and they
could have saved US all, a lot of trouble, IF they
had done that! They even stole "Duplex" wire,
copperweld, that wouldn't even burn the insulation
off-- and was WORTHLESS (unless you needed a #14
power cord, 500 hundred feet long)! MOST Telephone
carriers, didnt even like that stuff (and they
topped out at around 40 KHz!! Jim NN7K
