[TowerTalk] Source for 7/16" OD Aluminum Tubing

[john at kk9a.com]

I have never had good luck with Hy-Gain tips but fortunately I have  
only used these for temporary contest antennas. I used to buy Ø7/16  
6061 with a .048? wall from Metal-Cable - KE8QM. I wanted to buy more  
a couple of years ago but David said that he retired and I never found  
it for a reasonably price online. I would try commercial suppliers  
such as Central Steel and Wire or Ryerson. If you find a supplier  
please post your results.

I need some 7/16" OD aluminum tubing, and was wondering if there is a  
source that carries this OD tubing with a thicker wall than the .028"  
that Hy-Gain carries.
