Gentlemen,
I am on the process to build myself a (small) free-standing shack next to my
tower. I am thinking (which usually is dangerous) that I should "dress" my
shack in aluminum foil, making it into a large Faraday Cage/shielded room.
By connecting the foil to the tower and make sure all wires entering my shack
enters through a (relatively) small window I should be able to make the
ultimate lightning protection.
What can go wrong with this? The foil will be connected through-out, walls,
floor, ceiling. All the feed-through connectors, surge protectors etc will also
the connect to the foil. I will using a wide aluminum strip to connect the
tower to the foil. Yes, the tower has nine (9) gounding rods, so I believe that
is OK.
Any feedback?
73 de,
Hans - N2JFS
