Hi all,

There's a property I've been looking at staying on, but it has three, yes
three, smart meters on it.  One for the house, one for the office space and
one for the shed.  The house one is pointed away from where my trailer would
be, and is far away.  The other two are perhaps 175-200 feet away from me,
one being pointed (by that I mean the front end with the LCD screen)
parallel to the length of my trailer, and the other being pointed right at
it (though probably obstructed somewhat by hills).

I'm not sure if these are the ones that go off every few minutes or just
once an hour.

Can I *partially *shield the meters so that they still function (ie, so the
property owner doesn't get any accusing phone calls from the power company
suggesting they're stealing electricity), while reducing the RF that goes in
my direction?

Does anyone know if the smart meters operate omni-directionally?

Really appreciate your help, thanks!

R.
