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?

It is not the possible that determines what to hope for --
it is hope that determines what is possible.
