[LakelandARC] YOU GOT THE RIGHT ONE BABY!

[Bill Johnson]

Carl,

I do remember steel cans and cheap solder. In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, the instructions that came with the first beer can antenna I read about suggested that you leave the cigarette butts in the can to help absorb excess moisture. :-) Times have sure changed.

  Perhaps no one remembers when solder was cheap & beer came in steel 
  cans... the club used to sit around emptying segments of the newest 40 
  meter "beer can" vertical... I personally participated in building 
  several of those.... They actually worked..
