I tried the cantenna but signal dropped after 10 minutes or so. Can only pick up 59nm using standard antenna, this is such an interesting topic so will be giving it a try later today and see what the effects are.

The 1 inch (25 mm) dia magnetic base does not provide sufficient ground plane. By placing it over a metallic surface, it gets larger ground plane and it's performance further improves.
An additional advantage of food-can is that as most of the food-cans are made of iron/steel, the magnet in base of the whip will cling to it, and keep antenna in stable vertical position.

In addition to cutting the whip to optimum length, there is another step for improvement: Place the mag-mount antenna over a metallic surface.
