[TowerTalk] Shielded shack

[Hans Hammarquist]

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?
