It turned it to Farady shield and prevented signals from exciting the
antenna inside.


It's still the same "1/2 inch copper water tubing (non ferrous
material passing the magnetic field)."

So, does that wire make the "shield" better, or worse?

Super-extra credit question:
If we replaced the non ferrous material (same gap, no link) with (most
have probably anticipated this) a ferrous material, does this allow
near field region electrical field interference to pass un-impeded?
