[TowerTalk] Aluminum Tubing

[kk9a at arrl.net]

3/8 diameter is pretty small for an HF element tip.  Texas Towers only sells
6063-T832 tubing in that size.  I'd use 6061-T6 aluminum which is a little
stronger and more expensive. You can purchase from it Metal & Cable Corp.

By the way, Texas Towers is out of 3/8 aluminum and will be until the middle
of October.
