My late father was a bit weird and eccentric. He built his custom CB antenna around PVC plastic tubing. Yeah it worked, hell he could communicate around 300 miles radius from the home base.

It worked, until it stopped working...

We ended up scavenging as many pieces of the PVC as we could, to reassemble it as a superglue/jigsaw puzzle haha!
