Yes Randy
But that would take all the fun out of trying to make the FO rain gauge better

Orion

AREA of the FO is 110x50mm = 5500mm A funnel would need to be 83.683mm for the same area but as the fine offset is a very cheep device and not very accurate its possible that the collecting device (funnel) may need to be a few mm bigger than the theoretical size of 83.683mm to get most accurate read...
