Is this the same thing as phone wires picking up an AM station? Sometimes
I can clearly hear an AM radio station overlaid with a conversation on
the phone (only on my end, the other person can't hear it). The phone
company told me that there was nothing I could do about it, but I've
heard that a choke coil on my side of the network interface should reduce
it. (haven't had a chance to try it yet) How exactly is this happening?
