And then he can reply "Why are you asking?"Or you could just ask the neighbor if he's had any reception problems lately......

If you are trying to appear ignorant you are doing a fantastic job.And then he can reply "Why are you asking?"

Speaking as a ham radio operator for many years, this is spot on. ALWAYS check your grounds first!!!! and yes shielding does work.Before you waste money make sure the grounding is good, just because its connected to the ground in the receptacle does NOT mean it is grounded. If you need to drive a copper grounding rod into the earth it would provide far better results than any sort of shield. Unless you know the frequency (size) of the rf waves it is difficult to know thickness, type of material, conductivity and resistance necessary for your setup. A grounding rod is only a few dollars and all you need is a hammer to drive it down like a fence stake. Grounding is essentially "absorbing" rf into a less resistant material, just as shielding. If grounding and the other options do not work, then go out and spend more on shielding, an extremely expensive and time consuming endeavor. Last time I checked copper sheeting ran about $50 for 1 sq ft. There were other more sensible solutions offered by smart people, as an electrical engineer my (free) advice would be to attempt the cheapest options first, shielding is almost always ineffective, though I'm sure a few have been lucky at times. If it were me, I'd not waste a dime on anything, nobody can enter your house because you are emitting what is found in all parts of the universe. It is not against the law to produce rf. At least not at the levels you are producing.
Yeah that was me ghey thing is though as i said in my first post i don't know if i am putting out much RF interference, in some ones post they said if the signal keeps interfering that the cable company would disconnect them, i know from car audio not to run my amp audio cables along side my amp power cables because it will cause interference but i was wondering is the RF interference much more likely to travel threw lines that are connected to my house or is it just as likely to be broadcasting from my house and fucking up other peoples shit? as i said i only have power, phone and DSL hooked up to my house.I'm guessing that is accomplished through an electrical outlet's grounding slot (if they are grounded, I saw someone in here mention their whole house isn't grounded? that would suck....).
