<< In reassembling a Telrex antenna, I find that one of my pieces of element
tubing is bent. Its a twelve foot piece of 1.375" tubing, tapered at each

Does anyone have any experience trying to purchase tapered aluminum
without going back to the antenna manufacturer? (Which is not an option
in my case). >>
What you're looking for is regular aluminum tubing that is swaged at the
end. I'd contact the other manufacturers (Force 12 for instance) and get it
from them. All of the manufacturers use the same materials and they all swage
some of the elements.
