In article <13681@well.UUCP> John Nagle asks:

         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?


Hmmm, a fifty-cent solution that works -- what's so unrespectable about that?
