Tasty too. I am building a 4sq box with a big cookie tin! The container residue
from the holidays should not be recycled lightly!

Hi Dan,
In order to house the base variable capacitors mounted on each of my inverted
"L's" for 160-meters, I use the large red & black plastic "Folgers"-brand
coffee containers...they've lasted me for some 6+ years here now, & haven't
failed me yet.
To house the relay / transformer in my two K9AY loops I use large British
cookie tins.
Use your imagination! I suggest a trip to your local grocery
store---seriously!. Walk the aisles, & look at the containers that the
different products come in, for possible "candidates" for your next project.
It's actually kinda fun!
