Building a Faraday Cage
 
After alot of research on the subject of RFI/EMI Interference.
I recently constructed a Faraday Cage around my laptop. Alot of
people recommend nickel/zinc material. Others have tried alumunium
based. Well. I took a different approach. By using a copper mesh
screening material used for sculpturing. The material can usually
be found at craft stores.

After lining my shelving area where I have my laptop almost all of
the interference on the radios is gone. Check into the copper
research on the web and you will find what I am talking about.
