Default antenna wire cleanup question

Got some dirty, corroded stranded #14 copper antenna wire I need to

off the ends before soldering. What common household product(s) can I put
the ends in overnite to get 'em shiny and ready to solder?


Try mixture of salt and lemon juice. 73. Harry, VE3GRO

Got some dirty, corroded stranded #14 copper antenna wire I need to
solder/splice.
Ever tried using Coke/Pepsi. Dont laugh, try putting an old dime or cent
in it for a day or so and see the results. Geeezzzzzzzzz the things we
drink today!! Or try cutting it back a tad or two to new wire, you
shouldn't notice too much diffrence.
