Default CD's as director-reflector units?

Not yet, but how would you "fine tune" one as a director?
Wire antennas are easy to tweak by clipping a bit off the ends.
Lots of folk pick a material easy to work with, but CDs may not fit that
category.


Perhaps one could use a compass, and simply scribe a circle of
appropriate radius through the aluminized layer? Experimentation
would be required, as the area outside the scribed circle would
probably act as a capacitive load for the director disc inside.
