[Lowfer] Sheilding power cords with aluminum foil ??

[Andy - KU4XR]

What has been the experience from those who have tried this ??
The standard 3 prong black computer cord, wrap a small stranded 
wire around the cord to use as a drain wire, then wrap the cord
with a layer of aluminum foil, place a clamp on ferrite core at 
the outlet end, and at the computer end connect the drain wire
to the case, either directly, thru a capacitor, or inductor
which ever works, or leave it dis-connected if it makes things
worse. It would be a simple method, anyone have any sucess or
failure trying it ??  Of course at MW and LF frequencies.
