Well my dad works with alot of radios (HAM and shortwaves) so needless to say he has an abundance of wires. so im wanting to try and create my first LOD and i found this purty looking wire with something unique(i think)( about it. It has 1 copper(stranded) wire and 1 steel(i think since i dont know how to test if its silver*stranded*) wires, there both coated seperatly in clear coating and i wa wondering if i cut it into three pieces and sodder both the copper and ?steel? cables to all the connectors on the pin what would be the outcome? bennifits? detriments? and pssibly is there away to tell if the other cable i silver or steel?
EDIT: after looking at it a bit more i noticed the ?steel? side also has a few copper wires in it. like 1/4 or so of the wires are coper and the rest ?steel?.
EDIT: my dad said it was aluminum
