Antenna wire
#19

Assuming your phone line is no longer being used and is disconnected at the pole...

Yes, it can work for more than one radio - provided that you use a different color wire for each radio. Red for one, green for another, yellow for a third. This way they do not interfere with each other.

If you connect multiple radios to a single longwire, performance will suffer.

You could use a live phone line, but you will get interference when you have a call; plus it is not good for the (live) phone line either as the radio can cause interference in your phone.

Don't forget that .001 uF cap! It is used to provide some isolation between the phone line and radio.
