It was a double wall screen room
With 5W HTs a foot apart, one inside, one outside, caming the door shut took them from overload to being undetectable.

At the time (before I quit and went to college) I did the RFI measurements and instrument calibration for the plant. The signal strength measurements were done with a Singer Metrics receiver. The isolation was beyond its ability to measure.

The screen was Copper. The door shut into a frame lined with heavy
finger stock.  The door latched using a cam.

Commercial screen rooms do use copper screen.


Indeed - http://www.ets-lindgren.com/iDEI-Screen

I wonder, though, what the attenuation of that is vs the solid panels.

Screen - double layer electrically isolated
    Magnetic (14 kHz): 68 dB
    Electric (14kHz): 120 dB
    Planewave 450 MHz: 110 - 120 dB
    Planewave 1 GHz: 90 - 110 dB
    Microwave 10 GHz: 50 - 80 dB

vs a solid (Lindgren type 81) single layer

Magnetic Field

    20 dB @ 1 KHz
    56 dB @ 10 KHz
    100 dB @ 200 KHz

Electric Field    100 dB from 200 KHz
    thru 50 MHz

Plane Wave    100 dB @ 50 MHz to 1 GHz

Microwave     100 dB @ 10 GHz


So it looks like a single layer screen is not as good as a single layer solid..
