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

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

1/2" and 3/4" EMT is designed with an alloy that is easily bendable.  
It's likely the larger sizes use the same alloy. IOW a bad choice for a 
Gin Pole.
I purchase 2" 6061-T6 with 0.25" wall (mill finish) that comes in stock 
lengths of 24, half dozen at a time. They deliver right to my shop door 
for no extra charge.'. I use it for masts and gin poles.

I'd need to call for current prices
