I would think that would be a "bad idea". Copper to zinc would not be a
strong weld, and it would start some kind of galvanic reaction, not to
mention weakening the cable.
copper-copper will work, but I don't think it's actually welding, I
think it might be brazing?

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Cad welding expert advice needed :)
First foray into cad welding… actually my logistics guy is digging
into it.
We basically need to do 3 types of welding for towers.
1)Welding copper ground cable to the guy 3/16”, ¼” and 5/16” wires
2)Welding copper ground cable to ground rods 5/8”
3)Welding copper ground cable to Rohn 25G and 45G tower piece.
Looking at lots of models, pieces parts.
Anybody have some practical suggestions on pieces parts, vendors etc?
Thanks!
