I live in a ground floor flat with a corrugated iron roof plus aluminium window and door frames. This is an ideal Faraday Cage and gives me problems with FM reception. I can't use the TV aerial because it is the wrong type so I have ended up with a wire home made contraption outside the nearest window. It works very well most of the time, but occasionally the signal fades and if I approach the set and put my hand on it the volume is restored. Obviously I am becoming the aerial. I can't find any fault with the co-ax wire to the window and obviously the home made aerial works most of the time.
Can anyone suggest the cause of the problem and how I can overcome it? I've tried to blame sunspots and UFO activity but my wife is unimpressed with my explanations.
