Hello Everyone:

I have tried all the local metal suppliers and several in the
Chicago
area to get 6061-T6 aluminum tubing from in very specific sizes. I need
to
get two pieces of 1.00 inch OD with a wall thickness of 0.058 inch that
are
twelve feet long. I also need to get four pieces of 7/8 inch OD by 0.049
inch wall that are twelve feet long.

Nobody that I spoke with stocks these items. Some of the big name
suppliers were down right nasty about me wanting this small quantity of
pieces.

Where would one go to get these pieces that I need to get for some
antenna projects that I want to build soon? And not pay an arm and a leg
for the privilege of owning this rare and unobtainable material.
