[TowerTalk] electric fence qrn

[Larry Stowell]

A few years ago my wife and I stayed the
St. Francis/Westin Hotel in San Francisco and the still cleaned the coins
before giving them out as change. They used Vanish toilet bowl cleaner for
the pennies. I have used it many times to clean stranded antenna wire in
prep for soldering. Just dip it in for a few seconds and it comes out bright
and shiny, rinse it in clean water, dry it and solder.
