Sure they do. BUT... Finished antennas take lot of space, cost money to
produce, and if they are in stock at inventory time the manufacturer has to
pay tax on the finished product rather than the stock tubing.
Echonomiclly it doesn't make sense to build many ahead although you do need
to build enough in the off season to keep any work force employed.

Typically for low volume, high price, bulky products the manufacturer is
probably the poorest place to buy in the supply chain, depending on that
