Well, that explains it then. Aluminum foil doesn't work. It *HAS* to
be TIN-foil.
I know it's hard to find now-a-days, but you really should make an
effort to obtain the genuine article.
Actually, lead foil is much more effective, it's absorption
characteristics being so much greater in both the incoming and
outgoing waves. Unfortunately, it tears too easily, rendering it's
efficacy moot with little skull-cap time. Tin foil is only marginally
better for wearability.
A combination of all three is my choice of headgear, layering (from
skull to outer-space) loose wool knit, covered with aluminum foil,
lead foil, then tin foil, then a outer covering of aluminum foil. This
sandwich of brain pan protection can be further enhanced by a chrome
plated period motorcycle helmet with leather chin strap.
Do not bother enquiring at your local haberdashery. Roll your own.
