      I've been receiving two local AM broadcast stations on my
Western Electric Model 600 telephone.  I fixed the problem by 
putting a 1000pF capacitor across two terminals within the phone
that seemed to work.  (Putting it across the phone line didn't help,
in fact, a dead short across the phone line turned the phone into a
good radio!)  This seems a hokey solution to the problem.  Is there
a more respectable one?
