Of course you can. We had a thread on it sometime ago, maybe 4 or 5 months. Let's try to find it.

Scalar designs are normally fruits of RF Electronic Engineers, but random experimentation can yield useful results and are encouraged for the hobbyist. Walrus1957(?) an EE has posted extensively on homemade conical scalars for offset reflector applications.
