Subject: [AMRadio] Re: Beer can silliness
I don't know why you wouldn't have used tin down spout. That beer can
business has to be one of the silliest ham radio ideas anyone has EVER
thought of. That's why I always figured it was a joke, even if the
article didn't appear in the April issue. Downspout would have been about
as cheap as the solder it took to attach all those cans to each other, and
it certainly took a lot less work.

Don,
For 2 days now you have been insulting anyone who built or considered a beer
can antenna.
I replied yesterday and it is repeated below.
A. teenagers often didnt have those pennies or a car back in "those days".
Scrounging cans was easy.
B. Teenagers then and now werent always known for thinking things thru.
C. Hams have always been known to be thrifty.
D. Were you ever a teenager?

BTW, I was a teenager when I had several QSO's with Mike, he was far from
gruff with me or many other young hams.
