[Repeater-Builder] OT: Cell Phone Yagi

I know this is off topic, but I also know there is a wealth of knowledge here. I need to install an outside antenna to ensure continuous cell phone access from my home QTH. The commercial 7-element Yagi is over $100. I know I can make one cheaper than that out of 1/8 dia. aluminum tubing or
