Thanks Cecil. Any other kind of material I could use that might be better?

I believe that many commercial antennas are enclosed in
PVC. Assuming your PVC is non-conductive, it is simply
lowering the velocity factor of your antenna (assuming
you haven't turned it into a fractal by stuffing from
one end :-). Try trimming it. If you ruin it, build
another. Or just build yourself a J-Pole from copper
tubing.
