Bill,

This is a better URL...http://www.saunalahti.fi/elepal/antenna2.html
Its from a commercial design.

You can get aluminum irrigation pipe to use for the tubing.

These antennas can have up to 13 dBi gain.  Of course a 4 bay panel arry
can have 15 dBi gain and cost about $12 from the North Texas Microwave
Group.
