Quick and dirty (but extremely effective) longwire antenna
#10

That is interesting about the phone lines. Many times the lead in line from pole to house has more than two or three pair. In my area which was built 30 years ago, I believe we have 4 pair. They may have done that as mine are underground and obviously useless for antenna use. However you could check at the entrance box and see if you have unused pairs as they are not connected at pole. The extra, unused lines could be utilized for the antenna. Oh and by the way TonyJSenior, you would do anything to get out of taking the Xmas lights down woudn't you. PL
