I do like the ammo can idea. If you get a choice surplus military can the gasketing is unbeatable. I've bought cans from this place: https://ammocanman.com/

Oops! Didn't see someone had posted this already to the general forum a few days back. Well, I'll leave it here in this forum anyhow as it may be helpful specifically to this audience.

The RF Workbench / Chinese electronics products tested
« on: April 12, 2021, 1244 UTC »
This is a really interesting site authored by a Dutch electronics engineer. In it he extensively tests, you guessed it: Chinese electronics products. I posted this here in the RF workbench forum because a lot of his reviews are focused on inexpensive equipment you may find on an RF workbench: scopes, function generators, multimeters, power supplies and so on, as well as parts like caps and resistors.
The reviews are extremely detailed and and most conclude with a go/no-go opinion. Check out the site here:

You have to give him credit for having the cajones to say "when I committed adultery the women were old enough and we had a good time" lol.
This is good news for humanity but not great news for the shortwave stations that profited from his criminal cult *waves towards Monticello*

KIPM signal on 6955 USB is breaking my mind. S9+infinity. Seems to be same show as yesterday. Still fun to listen to. Love Alan Maxwell mindstreams.

Foxy AM signed on at approx 1754 UTC with a super huge signal in the Boston burbs. Announcer is live and said "standby for CW" then into CW.

Very good S8 signal here with old music that almost sounds like it would be in a Warner Bros cartoon at 1412 UTC and then into a vintage Hallmark card radio ad.

Heard this too, about S7. The spoken ID sounded like "Certified Laser Radio" or perhaps "Certified Loser Radio". The phonetics the female synth voice repeated were "certiti edloser", I think? Odd transmission.

Super S9+10 in the Boston burbs. Nice hearing KIPM again! A weird narrative about storm drains at 2028 UTC.

I have a weak-ish, S2 maybe, AM signal on 6970 AM for the last 20 minutes or so. Can't listen with wide bandwidth due to data just above it. Playing cinematic/operatic style music, for lack of a better word. Evidently no ID or announcer activity.

Universal Radio is closing shop. This one hurts. The Ostermans were really dedicated to SWL.
