Re: [WISPA] Multiple Radio cards in an enclosure

Isn't copper a better conductor? Aluminum is lighter but not as good of a conductor. That's why high tension wires have to be fatter than copper wires to carry the same current but they're cheaper and lighter. Greg On Dec 4, 2009, at 7:29 AM, Scott Reed wrote: > I would think so. Aluminum is

I think that depends on what you are trying to do. If you have a device that emits radiation you don't want out, you want to absorb it. Reflecting it back on yourself could be counter-productive. If you are trying to keep another source's radiation out of your equipment, I do not believe it matt
