Default Why Solder the Ends of Stranded Antenna Wire ?

...
No way was the static lighting up a 12V 5W filament bulb.


It lit it up a few times every winter, in the daytime, or with the
lights on, it was hard to see, so it might have lit up more often. I saw
it in the dark easily enough though.


A weakly lit up filament bulb is a deep reddy orange. Is that what you saw?
