Most of us old timers know the beverage antenna is quite effective as a

Has anyone used it as a transmitting antenna?

Speaking of "beverage" antennas, many decades ago I read an article on
antennas made of beer cans soldered together. Then came the aluminum can
and so much for that story.


A high school buddy and I tried it and found it to be more trouble
than it was worth for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was
the sturdiness of the thing.
