What's the best way to clean old, brown oxidized stranded copper wire so it can 
be soldered? Many times I need to modify or repair old wire antennas. I've 
tried sanding with 400 grit  and also wire brushing. Nothing works well and 
quickly - mostly it's tedious, and the solderability is mediocre at best.

Any ideas?
