Inspired by Mat in the garage and his Spamtenna https://www.radiocorner.uk/index.php?topic=97.msg230#msg230 , here is my Beer CanTenna built from a pint Foster's can. I managed to get a couple of contacts, including the antenna guru himself, Matt from Plumpton to Hailsham. Started building it when the net started at 20:30 and called in on it at around 22:00.

I mean, it looks very sketchy, but it wasn't bad on the Nanovna. Also forgot to add, only managed to gash one finger open. Spamtenna to beer cantenna would be good.

Jonny FYI, I was getting 3/10 bars Radio 5 when you started from your garden but faded to nothing after 2-3 minutes. 8)
