Telephone drop wire makes a good antenna. Connect both wires for a fat
dipole. But, be careful. The phone company uses a device on the end
that attaches to the house that is a break-away in case a tree, etc
falls across the wire. The stuff is so strong that it will pull the
siding off your house.
I knew of someone who used it in a community with C&R restrictions. He
requested that he could put up a dog run. The dog run was actually his
antenna. When asked why the dog run had a wire going to the side of his
house and ground, he replied "lightning protection". He didn't want his
dog electrocuted during a storm. The ultimate stealth antenna.
