We mounted a stock Pringles can antenna outside about 2 months ago (during
the "rainy season") and we just checked on it yesterday.  Here is what we
found:

(The other pictures are just 360 degree pics from the roof)

Note the dangling LMR-400 that use to be attached to the N-connector which
is no longer attached to the Pringles can.  Note to self:  Hot-Glue isn't
the right choice for mounting N-connectors to Pringles cans.

Thought you guys might be interested.
