 Very nice! I'm glad someone in Oregon is starting to make antenna's :-) You might want to check out SeattleWireless:BenSanders's stuff, he's been doing a lot of research on building antenna's and knows where to get all kinds of cool (and cheap) stuff for mounting gear. -- AdamShand  Very nice!

PVC Yagi's are a lot like pringles can yagi's. but, using a peice of pvc pipe instead of a pringles can. this is good because it's more weather resistant, more drop proof... and well, it looks less tacky.

here's a picture of my initial test one (with an attached shoulder strap). it gets about 8dBi. i'm somewhat disapointed, but i think was a bit sloppy in the construction. i'm going to make a smaller one using 1" pvc instead of 2", and i'm also going to make a second, and hopefully more precise large one for rooftop mounting at a friends house.

as soon as i start making those 2, i'll post some real directions complete with pictures.
