Whatever it is probably doesn' tmatter in the least.? Just plug it in, rotate it back and forth a few times and it will be just fine..? I bet.
I also think, it would be fine to route the signal to several rigs.? It is a strong signal driving into a high impedance crystal oscillator input.? Though, I don't think anyone has ever tried that. 73, Gary WB6OGD
I know very little about chemistry but I've read that the black stuff on silver is oxidation and conducts as well as the silver.? Maybe I've read incorrect information.
