Default Re: Faraday chamber.

Hi David and Jeremy...... All noted..... The first photo's didnt show the lid being incomplete..I was not going to invest more copper on the sides of the lid until I had a sense that it was going to be of value... after initial testing I decided to add the missing copper. I also fitted copper foil in the corners of the main box and a strip of copper along part of the top edge to act as a positive contact. The two analyser photos show the desired end result... two thing I did note was.. it is important to keep the lead from the analyser to the box as short as possible...otherwise I get Band 2 interference... and the other is that I really need to increase the number of bolts securing the outer skin to the inner copper, there is a hand capacity effect...so I have a lot of drilling to do tomorrow..but it was a worthwhile investment in time and materials
