You  guys are just bound and determined that I go home and look through my 
garage file cabinet...:)  Those plans are there somewhere, along with the 
Quagi plans...

These are much more than field day or emergency antennas, their the same 
basic antenna you'll find on every mountain top, whoops, sorry you don't have 
mountains in Wisconsin, hilltop or whatever repeater site.
Those white sticks you see at the Ham store are built the same way.  Take the 
Hustler G6-440 I replaced it with.  Same antenna inside a fiberglass tube.
