[Boatanchors] antenna wire

[David C. Hallam]

Lime Away contains sulfamic acid H3NSO3 rather than sulfuric acid 
H2SO4.  Sumfanic acid is widely used in household cleaners particularly 
for toilets and showers.  It is also used in coffee pot cleaners under 
various trade names.

Is not as strong an acid as sulfuric acid, but rubber gloves are 
recommended when using it.
