Hi Ed Fong here. I will be more than glad to provide you folks with antennas. Yes, they are hard to build. Check this months QST on my portable version. No, you cannot just remove the antenna from the PVC and use it outside. The velocity factor of air and PVC are different and you will not get a match. I live in Sunnyvale so you contact me or drop by and I will be more than glad to help you out.
