[TowerTalk] Metal Thermal Rate of Expansion

[Al Kozakiewicz]

Technically the circumference does. If I did the math right in my head, that means the diameter changes faster than the coefficient. If I'm wrong, it isn't the first time. Nor the last. If I'm right, it isn't a very big deal with antenna sized tubing anyway.

Diameter grows at the same rate.
