Hi Drew,
Who else have you looked for. I know that 1/4" and close to 0.058 wall used to be everywhere. but now it is hard to find and when found it has a crazy cost. The stuff must be hard to make?

I'l try to find who I got my last supply from when i made my 40 meter verticals.

Contesters,

Has anyone else noticed that DXE no longer lists 0.25 in tubing on its site?  
Obviously, they need that size to build/maintain almost any Yagi or vertical 
they sell or make.  I called and they assured me they don't carry it anymore, 
despite it being part of many things they still sell.  Including elements for 
the RX circle array I am getting ready to build using their preamps.  I have 
yet to find an alternate source at less than 3x the price.   This has got to be 
a mistake right?
