You can get aluminum 6061 3/16" rod at most metal suppliers or scrap metal
salvage yards. Check the yellow pages. If they don't have it in stock
they will usually order it for you. I was quoted a price of about $10 US for
1" X 12' square tubing, and about $3-4 for the 3/16" X 12' rod stock.

Hope this helps,

You can get aluminum tubing from an aircraft supplier. it comes in 12'
lengths.

it would be a pretty expensive antenna but would last a long time.

I going to build a 11 element yagi but the problem I'm having is I can't
find the aluminum rods, I was wondering if I use copper if I will still
get
the same Db gain.

I was thinking of another metal was to use brake line from a car that I
can get in the auto parts store.

Thanks
