Drop aluminum from this list.  Aluminum is ok at 60 Hz but for RF
frequencies in TC oscillators (50-600 KHZ) it will severely reduce the
current flow.  You don't want a resistive load in series with the bottom
end
of any TC as it will reduce output current.

	Doesn't sound right to me.  Al works fine for HF antennas (wire or
beam), microwave waveguides, and isn't too bad for resonant cavities.
