Quick and dirty (but extremely effective) longwire antenna
#6

Hi Tony

Yes, it will cause problems with both, as Jim mentioned...which is why I do not recommend doing this with a live phone line.

*****

I checked out my telephone network interface box this afternoon. Obviously Ma Bell disconnected my line at the utility pole, because the wiring is all still connected inside the interface box. I pulled the modular plug from the network interface jack...reception went way down...reconnected it...reception came back up.

The phone line runs some distance to the utility pole. So I now have a very good longwire! Icon_biggrin
