Look, Mike:

I was the initial response with the questions about wall thickness and
alloy. Because the answers to his simple question are yes and no. Yes, I
have successfully used 2 7/8" tubing as he suggests, and no, 2 7/8" aluminum
thin wall tubing won't hardly support itself, nevermind an antenna. Now, I
suspect he has a particular piece of tubing in sight, or the specific size
wouldn't have been mentioned. But, diameter alone is not enough information
to give him a useful answer. And that makes it a less than serious
question.

See how it works?
The term 2 7/8 tubing is quite familiar around this area,,, and I
suspect he is talking about oilfield tubing,,, which is very stout. I
the wall thickness is in the neighborhood of 1/4". cl.
