Yes. Advanced body shielding involves a secondary conductive shielf. You put the radio in Pringles can, or other deep open-top conductive case, antenna up, and using a lanyard (string) to pull up (and let gravity pull down) to adjust how close to the mouth it is, thus providing a variable attenuation to get it just on the edge so you can hear it change as you turn it around your body, the "body shield". This technique will work with weak VHF FM signals, we use it in VHF FM foxhunting in ham radio. (It's hardly the preferred technique, but it will work for close-in if you don't have specialty gear.) [ I heard of someone wrapping himself in aluminum foil to do advanced body shield, but the cops questioned him quite a while (post 9/11, alas). Not a recommended variation. ] -- Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
