[sdiy] how to prevent EMI coming through windows?

[Czech Martin]

Tim, you are a genius! ;->

But "bug" is not pervasive enough.
I will declare this as "spider and gnat protection" device

because I always have to hunt spiders (alive)
and to throw them out....


m.c.

Steel-wire mesh, grounded of course. Can double as a
bug screen. Any metal will work, but ferrous is best.
