Ok, thanks, was just a wonder while I have one.
Hope you can forgive the errors, as some of these areas are quite fresh for myself.

I used a small transformer today, salvaged from a 9V answering machine. While the unit was 9V, I decided the transformer was suspicious in its inclusion. Surely a 7805 voltage regulator or other methods would be neater, so, there was something to this transformer.
In any case, then I set about interrupting the speaker output from a radio, by putting the transformer in line with the signal. No prizes for guessing that the audio got through, but was a reduced amount...I guess I had to just try it.
What I think i'm trying to say is that i'd like to test out parts of your building guidelines as written above, while I have time on my hands, but that I am learning some principles as I go.

A good Faraday cage would be something else to get right, but don't worry, I wouldn't use our microwave oven lol
