This is an ancient technique, it's the basis of the
Cantenna
, which started out as a DIY antenna site.

... and there I was thinking I was being "cutting edge" !!!! Oh well back to the drawing board.
I'm working on a writing implement that doesn't require an inkwell or the use of feathers and I want to get it patented before my rivals !

FWIW, I used a pair of Cantennas years ago to transmit wireless almost 3/4 mile on a ranch property, worked quite well except when there was hard rain.

Sounds interesting.
I don't think I would walk around with a pringle can connected to my laptop!

Reminds me of the HAM radio transmitter built in a tuna can.
