Another SWL'ing rip. Good to know, but why build something that just about everyone already has? https://survivalblog.com/2023/07/16/building-a-simple-faraday-cage-by-ohiogalt/

Just about everyone has a microwave oven, maybe even a couple of old, trashed, ones kickin' around. Cut off the power cord, take out the rotator and plate, (If any...), and clean out the food junk inside. Voila!!!! Faraday Cage, right there.
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
