[TowerTalk] Aluminum Tubing

[john at kk9a.com]

What kind of tubing?  If it is for an antenna I'll assume that you mean 
aluminum however there are still many choices. I use 6061-T6 however 6063-T8 
seems to be used more frequently in antennas. probably due to the lower 
cost.  If you are telescoping elements you need to get DOM tubing instead of 
extruded and probably with a .058 wall.  This is probably easier to by 
online.
