In other words, a copper pipe will have as much current carrying capacity as a solid copper wire of the same diameter when operating at high frequency. DC uses the whole cross section of the conductor. Frequencies in the range we're discussing can also be considered to use the whole thing.

Which is why people can get away with using copper tube for the primary in a Tesla coil. (I made a small one).
