One of the Engineering lab support personel at the college I went to had a funky cordless phone with a big antenna, he had modified it and the handset it matched up to to transpose to shortwave and back, he had a bigger than normal battery on it so it looked like a 1st gen cellphone.

He could talk for free within 20-30 miles of his house to people in his house and could answer phone calls on his land line.

Rather interesting apparatus.
