Yes. I really wasn't thinking of the copper as "the" conductor... just "a" conductor that helps hold things together. The solder, and touching contacts, are what I was after. Just after making a few of these with JUST the contacts, I got tired of fighting the soldering! One could easily do the same thing with just wire between them.
Been using these for a couple of seasons now and they seem to work really well. Bench testing shows them to have all the conductivity that I'm after.
