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.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
