Aluminum conducts better than tin, but how many other impurities are added into household aluminum foil?

The better sol'n is to get a tight spandex head-conforming mask that is made & coated with silver.  But that still leaves the bottom open for radio waves to get in. The full answer is to make a tight spandex body suit that is made of silver & coated with with another layer of silver, to make the perfect human Faraday cage. An extra layer of lead can be added to keep X-Rays out.

Weak here @1954Z.  Can hear music, but lots of noise. Also have t-storms in the area.

Overview
The sun is almost completely blank. The main driver of all weather and climate, the entity which occupies 99.86% of all of the mass in our solar system, the great ball of fire in the sky has gone quiet again during what is likely to be the weakest sunspot cycle in more than a century. The sun's X-ray output has flatlined in recent days and NOAA forecasters estimate a scant 1% chance of strong flares in the next 24 hours. Not since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906 has there been a solar cycle with fewer sunspots. We are currently more than six years into Solar Cycle 24 and the current nearly blank sun may signal the end of the solar maximum phase. Solar cycle 24 began after an unusually deep solar minimum that lasted from 2007 to 2009 which included more spotless days on the sun compared to any minimum in almost a century.

With the CBRS proposal, the commission abandons “the tired notion” that it must choose between licensed and unlicensed spectrum, added Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel.

I do not mean Part 15 broadcasters, I mean the cheap electronics that spew forth vast quantities of RFI when they should not (e.g. TVs, computers, routers, powerlines, air conditions, microwaves, dishwashers, electric blankets, grow lights, CFL bulbs, so on & so forth).


rh - I know the answer. It was a rhetorical statement. We're screwed in this respect and it will only get worse.

Does this now mean no hope of enforcing Part 15 rules on all of the electronic gizmos which are creating hell on LW-SW?
