FM Cantenna

I have been hearing a lot about these cantennas recently, and I was wondering if I would be able to make a cantenna to boost the FM reception of the receiver in my basement.

If it is possible, how would making it differ from that of a regular cantenna for wifi?

the phyical size of the cantenna for the fm band would be too large and uneffective, the frequency is what determins the deminsions.

It's an antenna to help boost a signal, mostly people have use pringle cans to help boost their WI-FI signal, but they even sell them on then internet and Compusa even carries some.
