[TowerTalk] Source for aluminum tubing?

[Chuck Tifft]

I just had to buy some for a TH11 refurb. DX Engineering & Texas Towers 
did not have 7/16. That is a odd size as most antenna makers  use 1/2 & 
3/8. HyGain uses 5/8 & 7/16 on some of their antennas. They have 7/16" 
in stock and it was pretty reasonable, 68 " lengths were under $6. ea. 
Much cheaper than the on line metal places.
