> Earlier this year I bought several pieces of expensive microwave absorbing foam; I found it helped slightly to reduce effects of what is apparently EM-pollution. I recently found that a single layer of aluminum works about as well.

> If the aluminum sheet is layered on a piece of cardboard 12 to 18" square, and this square is held at arm's length a noticeable effect occurs when the square is slowly scanned along the horizon. As a certain point is occluded a subtle sensation of relaxation affects the face and especially eyes.

> Taking this a step further, make a hole in the center of the square about a half inch in diameter. Repeat the above procedure except focus one eye through the hole. As the square is slowly scanned along the horizon level and a source passes into view (this can be in your house, so the 'view' will be a wall), the eye will experience a disagreeable sensation which causes it to blink.

> A further refinement is to use a box instead of a sheet of cardboard. Layer aluminum over two opposing sides of the box. This time make a hole about a quarter inch in diameter in the aluminum, both sides, in alignment. There should also be a corresponding hole in the cardboard to allow 'sighting', which is just to mark off a local landmark for the next step.

> Repeating the scanning technique above allows the source to be pinpointed to within a few degrees of compass bearing. By marking this bearing off on a map I have found a cell tower in almost every case so far. The match is very good. There are about two dozen sources I have identified this way. I have also learned to use the FCC database at wireless.fcc.gov/antenna to confirm tower locations without driving around so much.

> I have reason to believe that this system does not work for everyone. But I would like others to hear of it so that some progress might be made in explaining it.

> In buying the microwave absorbing foam I spent $200 for two 2 ft. squares of this stuff, and it was the least expensive variety. It did not work well enough to get a good night's sleep! It seems pretty clear that the intensity of the source was notched up too. So things may even have gotten worse.

> The important points are - 1 - it showed me that the experiences were due to EM radiation, and 2 - since it did not work very well at any time it seems the frequency of the EM is mostly below that where the material starts to block, about 1 gigahertz.

> As I said, a single layer of cheap aluminum foil (or better, a Coleman 'emergency blanket', which is plastic coated aluminum) works about as well - it still does not work that great!.

> So what's the point? That by constructing the simple scanner device it is possible to find the source of the emission. That at least is a big step. I wish I could offer a better shielding idea. There are some at www.lessemf.com, but I can't say how any of them work. I would recommend trying that before going to www.eccosorb.com, where I got the microwave absorbing foam.
