I have a similar problem. I used push pins pushed into the four corners
around the window in my room and ran hookup wire around that. The trouble is, this apt. complex has dsl and it really interferes with shortwave listening. There isn't much I can do about except move S. Nevertheless, the antenna works well with my dx 394. If I get up early on, sometimes there is good reception. ~~~~~ God gives peace not war + "Ink addict" wrote in message ... I know this has been asked many time before but I am going to ask again. The only place i can have an antenna at the place I live is in the same room as my radio so I am wondering if I can run a wire around the room? Can I bend it around the corners to make it longer or just run a staight piece along one wall. TIA Bob |

I thought that the twisted pairs of phone lines would prevent most signal leakage. |

It does, the problem is that when you can easily detect microvolts, it isn't hard for a twisted pair that is carring volts to radiate enough energy to be detecatable at the microvolt level. |

Another take on it: I have DSL and don't have any issues when my modem and router are turned off - and the power to the wall warts also turned off. It may well be that the interference is not from the DSL itself but the supporting equipment. |

How about 100 baseT ethernet over CAT-5e twisted pair cable? Anyone know what frequency ranges the signals on these lines operate at? |
