Looks like the smallest they have is 5/8" and I need 3/8" as well as
1/2" and 3/4". Also $78 for 2 pieces of 5/8" 72" long is $78.
Thank you.

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.
