But if you design one to operate off of 12 volts, and use Bell's power to run it...... There's 4 wires in a telephone box. Two are for the phone, and the other two are used for a second phone line. If unused, they make a GREAT antenna, considering they're 150-250 feet long. Just make sure you don't do this because it's illegal (smirk!) -=Peter Saulesleja=- --- Opus-CBCS 1.12 * Origin: Nowhere(833-2814) "I hate origin lines!" (1:250/630.0)
