Shielding - Alanpenwith - 2017-10-22
Hi All
At risk of suggesting something already well known (though I've not seen it here) I came across this copper foil. It's self adhesive and ideal for wrapping around a plastic tube.
Regards
Alan

Hi Alan, More of the same, or similar from eBay.
There is a big variation in the price of this stuff, depending on who it is being marketed to, so it is well worth looking through the listings.

Hope this is useful for someone.
Remember to check your gains and thresholds occasionally. This is an excellent tool to help you find a good sweet spot!

Sending 75,000 signals to report one stroke of lightning on the other side of the Planet is not really very efficient, neither for your station, nor the network as a whole!
In Europe, now we are entering the quieter part of the year, it is a good time to make improvements and optimise your station for the best possible settings and conditions.
Or just spending a little time reading through the forums to see what others have done and are doing and reporting on your own successes or failures.
Best wishes to all,
Brian.
