[TowerTalk] Aluminum Pipe/Tubing Needed

[Larry Burke WI5A]

Thanks, Jerry. Since this stuff comes motor freight, the problem is that the
shipping will run more than the pipe if that's all I'm ordering. Hence, the
desire to get locally.

  Looking for a 12' length of aluminum pipe/tubing 1/4" wall, 1.5" ID / 2"
OD,
  to use in a gin pole application. While this can be located outside my
  immediate area, I was hoping someone on the list could provide a lead for
a
  local stock in the Houston area. Most of the Yellow Pages sources I have
  tried have come up empty handed. I'd prefer not to have to look through
  every scrap yard in Houston. Any locals out there with some ideas? 

  Related question.. Is 1/4" wall overkill for 45G? I will be using the gin
  pole clamp/head from WB0W.  I don't recall the wall thickness on Rohn's
gin
  pole design, but seem to think it was not this thick. Maybe 1/8" wall
would
  work?
