My brother wants me to find out about RF Grounding and Shielding.
He saw (or heard about) a way to achieve excellent grounding by
anchoring a long flat sheet of copper (20 ft. by 6 in.) to a concrete
floor, and using it as the ground.  He wants the nitty-gritty details.

He mentioned a Sperry-Rand publication called "Facility Planning" as a
possible reference, but he didn't know where to look for something like
that.  My brother doesn't mind digging for himself, so names of books
or other publications and their sources would be useful, too.

This topic may be too broad, so he threw out a couple of terms that may
(to some of you) narrow the scope so that it can be answered quickly.

	Common Mode Current Loop

	Copper Mass Sheeting

I don't know much about grounding or about ham radio, but I'll forward
whatever you tell me to him.
