[TowerTalk] Gen Pole 10ft x 2in OD mast pipe

[Wes Stewart]

If you were in the southwest I would suggest Industrial Metal Supply.  Look for 
someone like them near you.  I would also consider .12" wall steel over aluminum.

IMS is great, I was just there a couple of hours ago.  I needed a length of 3' 
OD steel to install a DX Engineering pivot base for a vertical I'm building.  I 
wanted a seven foot length.  They didn't bat an eye or tell me that I had to buy 
the whole 20', they just chopped it off and sold it to me.
