[TowerTalk] mast material

[Dave Johnson]

Tony, I know this has been said before but be sure you get 2" tubing not 2" 
pipe.  Tubing is measured in outside diameter and pipe is in inside 
diameter.  Also, be sure it is 6061-T6 alloy.  Some other grades of aluminum 
are designed to be bent and are soft alloy.  I'm posting this in hopes it 
will save you time, labor and money.

Dave
