[TowerTalk] Fwd: How To Remove Tarnish off Bare Copper Wires

[Steve Jones]

How about Brasso?  We always used it to clean copper cable stubs at Farinon
before shipping the microwave radio racks to the field, where the copper
would be terminated in a punch down block.  Stuff worked great... and on
pennies in our pockets as well!
