[TowerTalk] small aluminum tubing source

[Jim Pruitt]

N5YIZ had a youtube video:

and PDF of a build documnt at:
https://www.prestonmoore.com/hamradio/rotatable_dipole.pdf

It uses 12ft each of 1/2", 3/8", 5/8", and 3/4" aluminum tubing with 
.058" wall thickness.  He lists Texas Towers as the source for the 
tubing.  I tried to buy the materials this past week from Texas Towers 
but they are out of stock.  I tried to contact them and finally got a 
reply saying that Texas Towers has no plans to restock any of that tubing.

I then called Alcobar in Spokane and they want $400 for the 48ft. I 
contacted Onlinemetals.com and they want $300 for the tubing (plus 
outrageous shipping). Again we are talking 6ft lengths (2 each).

Does anyone know of a REASONABLY priced supplier for the smaller 
aluminum tubing?

Thank you.
