Sometimes you can get empty paint cans at professional paint supplies
stores. They are nice as they are clean and shiny.

the poster is who also uses

this because he wants to be gay with ham operators and they have
spurned him.

Yes. I did that The new can had a plastic type coating on the inside
to prevent any possible leaks and corrosion, a great improvement over
cans of yesteryear that leaked on to the floor over time. Same story
for the lid., Cost me something like $3 and well worth it.

The hole in the lid of a Heathkit Cantenna was to allow for expansion
due to heat buildup in the oil during heavy use. Make sure you allow for
this expansion in any sealed container if you roll your own cantenna.

Paint the Can Flat Black and you will
have a "Stealth CanTenna".

Paint the Can with Invisiable Paint
and you just may never see it again.
