Warren Shults at WLS told us about a house in Tinley Park where every
time a new phone extension was added, it was daisy-chained to the
previous end of the line, without regard to orientation (or the nearby
50-kW AM).  By the time Warren was called in to deal with the
interference, successive owners had effectively constructed a
quarter-wave vertical antenna out of phone wire.
