I think I have posted this before but here goes. I don't have the room for a long wire antenna but did some investigating and came up with this. The wire from the phone company to my house is probably near 70'. There are 4 wires inside this cable, two of which actually are for the phone. In my case, the red and green. The other two, black and yellow are dead and not connected to anything. I checked for any kind of voltage both AC or DC on them and there is none. So, I've connected my radio to those wires through a .001 mfd. cap and have a quick, cheap and well working 70' longwire antenna!
