It may seem kind of strange that you
would want to know how to tap your own
phone line. After all, aren't phone taps
meant to be used on other people? However,
there is a definite advantage to having
a tap on your own line, as long as you
are the one doing the tapping. The best
thing you can do, especially if you are
fielding some pretty important or incriminating
phone calls, is to record them. You can
use them for bargaining, or you can use
them as evidence that someone is behaving
inappropriately.
It is not too hard to learn how to tap
your own phone line using simple and relatively
inexpensive items that can be picked up
from your local electronics store. You
will need one Ferrite split core assembly,
75 feet of 28 AWG magnetic coil wire (enameled),
one 1/8th inch mini-lug cable (should
have tinned ends), and make sure have
heat shrink tubing, tie wraps, and electrical
tape.
One you have all of these items, it is
time to begin learning how to tap your
own phone line. Open the core assembly
and wind the coil around the end that
does not open. There should be roughly
100 turns of coil. You should leave a
six inch tail sticking out before you
start winding, and then at the end, create
a second six inch tail when you clip the
wire.
Use fine grit sand paper on the last
half inch of the coil wire to remove the
enamel. You have to be careful not to
break the wire. Slip the tubing over each
end of the wire for insulation purposes.
Then, solder the ends of the mini phone
plug to the coil wire. Use tie wraps to
secure the cable to the tap, and insulate
solder joints with electrical tape. Slip
one (and one only) of the phone conductor
circuit through the split core. You can
then attach the core to a tape recorder
to record all conversations that you wish.
This is a very simple way that you can
create your own effective phone tap quickly
and inexpensively. Additionally, you have
the peace of mind that comes with being
able to record conversations because you
know how to tap your own phone line.
