Ground that screen, and you have the opposite effect, the signal is blocked from that direction, and you have a weaker signal.

I stand corrected on the antenna issue. Thank you for the information. I don't know much about antennas, but I do know about Faraday cages, having been professionally involved with them in a "former life" when I worked as a physicist in the UK nuclear power industry.

Get a grip, Harry, and quit arguing with everybody. You seem to have serious control issues. You are just wasting your time trying to change everybody's mind about everything they say.

Not everything they say. There's a series of books published here - don't know if they are available elsewhere called "Teach Yourself <x>". They have a series motto, "Give a wise man knowledge, and he will be yet wiser". That seems to me to me an excellent philosophy to live one's life by. Perhaps it is futile, but it's worth the effort.
