Don't forget DOM pipe, Drawn Over Mandrel. It's not as strong as Chrome
Molley, but second best. Look on the internet for sizes and specs.
Most Iron/Pipe outfits can order it by the foot.
For a small tribander and smaller antenna above it, iron water pipe would
work, but I wouldn't use fence pipe or EMT. It's just not strong enough.
