Just about all aircraft builder supply places carry aluminum tubing as
well. I would think the 6061-T6 grade would be great for antennas as it
is quite corrosion resistant and fairly hard and thus more resistant to
bending under ice buildup if your locale supports the formation of ice

I'm looking to make a 2m/70cm yagi antenna for working satellites.
The plans are out there, and it seems quite simple. (Or I could pay
$73 to Arrow Antenna, but I'll give it a shot myself first.)
