    Thanks for the greetings!! I live on the NW corner of Wichita. That's close enough to being neighbors. I'm starting out in e-scrap, Got any good advice? I'm pretty green at this and its me and my teenage son trying to learn together. We are currently digging out all the copper and aluminum that we can find but I have a funny feeling we are throwing away a lot of good money making opportunities. As you can tell we can use all the help we can get.

    I was down in Wichita in May this year for a small job. I was working at the murray gill power plant. Its a great town, hows it holding up down there since the aerospace industry slowed down?

    Welcome to the forums, from a sandbar off the coast of NC.

    As the others mentioned, a good group of folks here. You'll find plenty of info waiting for you in the archives. More info then you can shake a stick at! I've been out to KS, but in the SE part of your fine state. You guys need a mountain or something..

    Good luck!
