Hello Drew:
Your question is a good one! DX Engineering has never offered 1/4" OD tubing
for sale by itself - since I have been here (almost 13 years).
But, thanks to your suggestion we will offer it for sale - in the near
future. Need to get things geared up on the web, stock, etc.
Our 0.25 inch diameter tubing has a wall thickness of 0.035 not 0.058.
Hope your project can wait!
73 and Happy New Year
Tim K3LR at DX Engineering

Contesters,
Has anyone else noticed that DXE no longer lists 0.25 in tubing on its site?
Obviously, they need that size to build/maintain almost any Yagi or vertical
they sell or make. I called and they assured me they don't carry it
anymore, despite it being part of many things they still sell. Including
elements for the RX circle array I am getting ready to build using their
preamps. I have yet to find an alternate source at less than 3x the price.
This has got to be a mistake right?
73, Drew K3PA
