It's the best, easiest batch of antenna designs I've come across yet. There's a "toothpick", omni, a cantenna, patch, etc. He's got it all, and they're the best I've seen. As soon as I get a couple pigtails I'm building a toothpick for stumbling, and an omni for driving.

Thanks for all the links. Still some more questions.
Since it will be very hard to find a can that is 1.5 to 1.6 inches in diam. would a piece of coper pipping that is 1.5 or so work? or would PVC work better if I can find it.
Again, length of the "can" matters also correct? so if a pringles can is 12 or so inches long then I would want a piece of PVC that is 6 inches long and probaly place the probe( which is a length of 1.21 / 2 = .605 inche/s long) from the back of the can by about 1 inch.
I guess I will be experimenting the weekend.. Let me know if any of these measurements sound off to you guys.
Thanks for all the help!!
