I just had to buy some for a TH11 refurb. DX Engineering & Texas Towers did not have 7/16. That is a odd size as most antenna makers  use 1/2 & 3/8. HyGain uses 5/8 & 7/16 on some of their antennas. They have 7/16" in stock and it was pretty reasonable, 68 " lengths were under $6. ea. Much cheaper than the on line metal places.

​Hello all,

I am rebuilding an old HyGain 153BA 3-element 15 meter monoband yagi and I was wondering if there is a good source for the 7/16" diameter by approximately .039" wall thickness aluminum tubing that is used for the ends of the element
half-sections?

Years ago, Texas Towers used to stock a wide variety of aluminum tubing but
on their web site I see only two sizes listed.

Thanks for any help with this!
