Thanks for the information on where to find aluminum for antenna projects.

The idea of scrap yards would not be a bad one except one does not know what
the alloy or temper is on the aluminum. If it isn't right, the first good
wind would end up making a nice bundle to go back to the scrap yard. :-(

The commercial locations that were given in the information are helpful.
Even the Texas Towers site referring to a different alloy is a help. Now
I can go back to the locals with a request for the different alloy and see
if they have any of that in stock.

Again, thanks everyone for the pertinent information.





As for the spelling changes. I am an American. I do not speak English, I
speak American. If I had put the English spelling on the tests that I took
in school I would have failed. I put the American spelling on the tests and
at least passed the tests. Schools don't like it when one tries to be a
unique individual.

Find out who changed the spelling in the past and point your blame thrower
at them.

Basically it boils down to this is the way we were taught to spell and
speak.

Maybe we really don't speak English after all these years. We may speak and
write a totally different language of American that is based on the English
language.

If that is the case then there might be reason to believe the same thing is
happening with Australia, South Africa and a few other parts of the world.

As an example of this get someone from Australia and listen to them. Even
better hold a conversation with them. Then find someone from South Africa
and converse with them on something in a totally different setting. After
talking to both of them one on one, get them both into the same room and
introduce them to each other than get them talking to each other about
anything you want. You will find that the two dialects are different.

OK I know. It's Off Topic. :-) But I started the topic so I can twist it.
Right?

Again folks, thanks for the information and it will be very helpful.

Bye, Cheerio, G'Day, Seeya, Talk ta All Yall Later. :-)
