Hello Houndog235:



Look at:



www.texastowers.com/aluminum.htm



What type antenna you planning on building????



There may be a local metal supply place near your location. Look at the site here from Texas Towers. They show the tubing in 1/8 inch increments, on OD (outside Diameter) with a wall thickness of .058 inches. This drawn aluminum tubing 6063 T832 is more expensive than some cheaper and thinner aluminum tubing but is well worth the money in the long run.





The ARRL has a great chapter in their ARRL Antenna Book. Look at www.arrl.org under products, or type in a search for the Antenna Book.



Hope this helps.
