[TowerTalk] Faraday Cage

[Bill MacLane]

I do not know the maximum spacing.  I guess it is just
like anything else with RF frequency and field
strength dependent.  I used one designed by one of our
consulting engineers to keep FRI out of the FM
automation back in the late 70s.  It was just like
insect screen except it was gold plated copper screen.
 Yep, gold plated and very very expensive, looked
funny, but it worked.
