Hello, Folks!

I'm back again.

This time I'm doing a bit of research from the other end. I am trying
to construct a Pringles Cantenna using the cheapest possible materials.
According to the BinaryWolf site the diameter of the Pringles can is
not of an idea diameter but could be compensated by creating a "horn"
antenna by adding a funnel to the array. However, they do not go into
much detail on how to add a properly dimentioned funnel.

Are there any detailed plans for making such a contraption anywhere?

TIA...
