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!
