[GCARC] In search of 6061-T6 Aluminum tube?

[Terry Rossi]

Jay and Frank.   Metal Supermarkets in Bensalem was the winner.   I can pick it up tomorrow.  The problem with shipping a 10’ piece is the shipping it cost as much as the mast.

Terry,

You could try Steel and Metal Service Center in New Castle, DE. It's
been a few years since I was in there, but back then it was similar to
Fazzios (and I believe owned by them at one time).

Alro Steel (https://www.alro.com/) is another source with a huge
catalog. They have a Philadelphia area location. I have not dealt with
them personally but know people who have with good reports.

Finally, I've heard of McKnight Steel & Tube in Warminster. Haven't
dealt with them either but worth a call.

73 & Good Luck

I need a mast - looking for 10' round 6061-T6 Aluminum 1/4" wall -
anyone have a local source? If not aluminum maybe chrome moly?

Fazios doesn't carry it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Terry - N2LQH
