You keep saying this, and it still continues to be false.

The Part 15 rules *specifically* allow up to 5, home-made, 
non-certified antennas.

Go here (note the .gov domain):
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_04/47cfr15_04.html

click on either the "text" or "PDF" link for Section 15.23, "Home-built 
devices" .

OR

load this PDF:

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/part15/part15-2-16-06.pdf

Which from what I can tell, is the latest revision of FCC Part 15 regs.

I cannot think of a way that 15.23 could be interpreted as to make a 
Pringles antenna illegal, unless you started up a factory and did not 
make the correct FCC filings as you churned out 100's or 1000's of 
them.  In the case of home-built, only if you build and use 6 or more 
are you breaking the FCC regulation.
