Do a search for "tape measure antenna". It is a simple to build yagi
antenna made of pvc pipe with elements made from a metal measuring
tape. You can rescale it to your frequency.

Thanks Kingfish. That's pretty cool! It's actually much like what we're
using now... A 4 element Yagi, though ours don't have the flexible elements
like one made of tape measure.
