The "phone line antenna" is a good way to see just *how* much unwanted
interference you can pump into a radio before burning something out.

You will only know just how much unwanted noise will be generated until
the first time the phone rings while the radio is connected then it will
be very quiet. No more noise or signal either after that.

Decades ago - when I first started playing with phones - I would not have
known what you're talking about.

Then one day I was working on the phone lines and had hold of the primary two
[red/green] when the phone rang.

Actually, it was I who rang. I almost bit my tongue off.

I once knew a guy who claimed to have unscupulously downed the phone system
at the Univerisity of Illinois long ago.
Apparently 120VAC found it's way into the phone systems wiring.

He said every phone on campus rang momentarily, then all was silent.

The article has been posted numerous times. Did something change? I
didn't think so. If you are advocating that this is a good idea then
you¹re not very smart.

Smarter than you, no doubt. Advocating it? No. There are a lot of problems
with it. The main thing being noise to the point it would likely be useless
but the ringer voltage is not a concern if done correctly.

OK smart-ass you going to build the filter ³correctly² for every newbe
hobbyist in the group that may want to try it? No? Then why bother
posting to the thread. Since it¹s got a lot of problems and most likely
useless you must be looking for an argument.
