I've used the phone line idea KCMike suggested. In my area, the red/green wires in my phone cable are used for my actual phone service. The yellow or black wires were dead so I've used one of those, connecting my radio through a .001 mfd cap and now,I have a 60'+ of antenna high off the ground, works great!
