About 15 years ago I made a 220 mhz 8 element yagi out of a 10 foot piece of
the gray electrical plastic type conduit. It is still at the top of my
tower.. It is suspose to resist the UV from the sun beter than the normal
PVC water pipe.
Did you have to support the ends of the conduit (e.g. a wire from the
tower top) at all? I've heard/read that the PVC conduits can tend to
droop progressively with time - any sign of that in your antenna?
