I am new to SWL, ham radio and I have am wondering if I could recreate
some of
the high end antennas that I see in catalogs in copper tubing? I would
imagine that copper can be quite a bit heavier than stainless steel or
aluminum. Are there any differences in reception? Does anyone know a
good resource to learn more?

Copper is the best except for silver.

Well, there's gold. HI!HI!

The problems with either is the cost and mechanical strength.

Same problems -- only worse.
