Some window screens are aluminum. I've used aluminum screen

Window screens were copper in those days. I tried it out with
my "28-28" [6J6-2E26] rockbound 10 m TX, and indeed, I seemed
to be able to work everything I heard if I had a 40 m rock
close enough. Window screens are no longer copper so I don't
think it would work today.
