Re: [newmellotrongroup] Faraday cage

2014-08-03 by Bruce Daily

Hey Frank and everybody-
    If your power source is provided by underground lines, definitely check your home grounds first.  If you have pole-provided power, have the power company check the poles for ground line vandalism.  Every few poles there is a ground strap that provides either a neutral system ground, or earth ground for lightning arrest.  Copper scavengers love to chop as much of the ground straps off of the poles as they can reach.  In the latter case, it is possible that your home may have a neutral ground that, because of missing local pole grounds, is miles away.  The long neutral then becomes an antenna. The power company will gladly fix it.
 
   Personally, I like lotsa foil on the windows... ;)
