I can tell, you never seen my "Beer Can Antenna." (made with REAL beer
cans!--they were steel back then.) Seemed to work best the first day I
built it, and had to empty the cans ...

Bill:

Forgot to mention, it was for 10 meters, monopole.

Been considering a 160 meter dipole. Probably need some help getting
"materials together" and construction with that project (most likely
take a few days.) I am just beginning the math to figure out how many
36 packs I will need.

I expect it to be more efficient due the new fangled aluminum cans and
the expected lower losses in dc resistance!
