I used soft copper sheet with the soldered tabs once at Collins to do RF
measurements at millivolt level while 100KW and 250 KW transmitters were
being exercised in the same lab. It seemed to have worked. The main
copper sheet covered the entire work bench top and rolled around the
edges to hold it down.
