Hi Rich, it should be easy to determine which pair are used for your phone using a meter. In my case, the red and green are the active ones. I don’t know if that’s standard everywhere. In my basement where the phone line enters, I twisted the other two together and connected a .001mfd cap in series with the twisted pair and the block where all the lines in my home come back to. Then I used a piece of phone wire with the male plug from an old phone and put an alligator clip on the dead pair so now I can plug into any phone Jack in my home, clip the alligator to the antenna terminal of any radio I want and have instant long wire antenna. Doesn’t your phone line run about 20’ high off the ground and then out to the pole or wherever it connects to the phone company main wires?  As I said before, works really well!
