Linear Mode
Quick and dirty (but extremely effective) longwire antenna

I still have active outside phone service here but I've been using their lines as an antenna for quit some time. I'm just tied in thru a .o1 MFD ceramic and it works great. Only drawback is if I leave a radio connected to it there is a terrible buzz on the phone. Just have to remember to disconnect the radio when I'm done.
