One of YU1AW's designs gives a size of 80x150mm for the pcb
capacitor. Allowing for the dielectric that's in the region of a
quarterwave x halfwave. On top of that it's lossy at 432 so if
there's any significant rf for it to handle there's all sorts of
things could happen.
Something made from PTFE based pcb or ptfe sheet could be an
alternative.
