I assume the tubing is very well connected at the joints? Copper tube?

Yes!

What type of capacitor? How are the connections made?

Variable airspaced 12-14kv rotary supplied as a kit by local radio
company --£18.50p---

Turning the loop horizontal won't help unless you can get it up 1/4
to1/2 wave or more.

I already said that! :-)

Close to earth you are better off with vertical, and the mat will help
efficiency although it is pretty deep for higher bands.
