[TowerTalk] Seattle Aluminum Suppliers

[kr7x@attbi.com]

Mark:

Sorry I didn't notice this request. Try Pacific Metal
They have 6061-T6 round seameless drawn tube in 0.058" 
wall for antenna elements and and extruded tube for 
booms plus all other sorts of shapes. They will sell in 
small quantities and I have had no problems with them.

Phone: 206-251-6100 (Seattle)

I use their Portland outlet.
