[TowerTalk] Aluminum tubing over 2"

[Dan Zimmerman N3OX]

Looking for a 6 foot stick of 2.25" O.D. 1/8th wall aluminum tubing to
make some couplers for a guyed rotating mast of 2" tubing.

I'm having a hard time finding it for non-ridiculous prices.  Haven't
found anything much under $9/foot and that's pre-shipping.

Anyone have a supplier they like that will sell in small quantities
without big handling fees?

Or am I just off base here and it just costs $8-$9 per foot for 2.25"
x 0.125" 6061-T6 or equivalent tubing?  Is it just a weird size?
