No experience with this antenna, but 1/4 OD should be a even better (snugger)
fit in .058" wall than .049".

Rebuilding a M2 6M7JHV after losing the tower in a Texas windstorm. One
section of the boom will need to be replaced. Some of the elements survived in
reasonable shape and can be reused but a few of the element halves will need
to be replaced. M2's elements are 3/8"OD X .049" wall tubes with a 1/4"OD X
10" solid rod inserted. The only thing I have found is 3/8"OD X .058 wall 6063
tubes. Will the thicker wall 3/8 OD elements be sufficient with inner rod?
Comments and hints welcome from anyone who has rebuilt a JHV.
