[TowerTalk] 3 Inch boom material source?

[Michael Goins]

Irrigation pipe is usually pretty thin walled and I wouldn't trust
what is used here for a boom. Have you tried Texas Towers? They carry
a lot of tubing and if they don't have it, I'd bet they can put you on
the trail of a piece. Also might post a need as I know there are guys
here with antenna pieces in storage.
