Tim, Up there we'd just run up to Dillsburg, PA for the exotic stuff. Down
here in Florida it is a little harder to find. BUT, I talked to Jack today
who is a local. We have a company down here that makes "T" tops for boats
most of which is specialty work. They have a fine selection of 6061 and
other stuff. ...Hot here though....Jack will have to go when it cools off.
He doesn't work when it's hot.
'73, Mike K4CVL

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Where is the best place to buy aluminum tubing?
Hello Jack!
I am using 3" tubing for 60 ft booms on 20 meters. No problems.
There are lots of places to buy aluminum tubing.
Use Google and you will find something close to you.
