Hi people,

Long time no typing.  I might be helping someone move to an apartment tomorrow and may have to stay overnight.  It's in a house at least, and they have no WiFi in the house itself, but it's in a suburban area of a city that has a lot of towers and such crap; I haven't checked the place ahead of time and will be bringing my meters with me.

However, if I do have to stay overnight and want it to be a bit better, what are your thoughts on sleeping directly under the lightweight, mesh type RF shielding fabric (with it practically on top of my, separated by just a blanket)?

What about it also covering my head/face?

Is this a risk if, say, there's nothing conductive underneath me? Could I spread one of those metallic "emergency" blankets on the bottom underneath me and have the RF shielding mesh on top?

Does it matter if it only covers my body and not my head?

The only precautions I can think of are to avoid having it near any outlets or electronics to avoid picking up electric fields.

I should mention that it would be unlikely that I could ground the fabric in such a quick, makeshift situation.

If anyone would be kind enough to let me know what you think soon, I'd appreciate it, so I have the chance to prepare.  Thanks kindly, and sorry if this has been covered on these lists before; I just don't have the head to go searching right now.

Cheers,

R.
