I thought the same thing, until we turned off the main breaker in the =
house and measured voltage on the loops (which were now disconnected =
even from the alarm panel) and were still getting voltage. From where? =
The only thing I could figure is from the AM radio towers a few blocks =
away was inducing voltage in the wiring. Although I'm still not =
convinced, it's driving us nuts because it's also intermittant.
