By causing interference to your neighbors you discredit amateur radio,
Jim Reid. On my Web site there is information on building a RF filter
for telephones that is optimized for the ham bands. The cost is under
one dollar each. The parts can be purchased from Mouser. The RF filter
can be wired into one end of a standard RJ11 cord set. // I test the
neighborhood phones by calling each neighbor. I find out if the neighbor
can tell when I am sending bursts of 50wpm cw dits during the
conversation.

I wouldn't want to read something like this in the newspapers: '''Ham
Operator on Kauai Causes Infant Death By Interfering with 911 Call'''.
