Doug, I have a set of the same Wacom cans you referenced. With the exception that mine are the WP-612BpBr set (66-88MHz)... Let me know how your project goes, as I was considering the same thing. 73 Mike Perryman www.k5jmp.us

My thoughts are to cut them in half and lengthen them about a foot..My question is how important would it be if the new addition section was copper but was not silver plated inside, as the wipe portion of the can is lower where the silver plating will still be...Will this disruption in surface conductivity be an issue????? It looks like the silver plating add on could be done but will add significantly to the cost of the project...I was planning on adding copper sheet rolled to fit, riveted and silver soldered......and welding a splice into the tuning rod.. I think they are Celwave products and the tube is already made of what looks like rolled copper sheeting... ( about as thin as heating ductwork) fairly easy to dent... unfortunately.....:-) Anyone "been there done that" ???
