USA: National Radio Quiet Zone | ARTE.tv Documentary

[@jaxhoffalot2812]

Interesting documentary about the location & it's habitants but the thumbnail is clickbait nonsense, there's literally 20 seconds about the USGOV surveillance assets that exist in the Quiet Zone. Do better ARTE.

Steel is a good electromagnetic shield, it is a great conductor. PVC is a decent insulator, but not a good electromagnetic shield.

I'm from wv and I've been to Green Bank many times and to this day it's still fascinating

[@WWallace-yi1vo]

A few mistakes in the verbiage. Steel is highly conductive, but also an effective electromagnetic shield. Plastic or PVC is a decent electric insulator but not a good electromagnetic shield.

So mobile starlink ruining the qz?

[@WVMothman]

No, it is not broadcasting in the NRQZ, public radio did a story on it last year. No satellites.

@@WVMothman Also note, there is fixed versus mobile, different constraints for each.

10:38 the dude who hunts down “forbidden” radio waves unlocks his car with a radio keyfob

[@jamesreed361]

There is a band frequencies that are banned. I would imagine the frequency emitting from the fob is not an issue. They also don’t really hunt down the people violating the ordinance. It’s $25 fine if I remember correctly. I own a cabin and can see the satellite from my porch
