Hello all...
Late last week I inquired about the slotting of thin-walled  aluminum 
tubing, asking for
anyone with the necessary machinery to do same.
 
I got several suggestions, including questions from  Dale, K4DG regarding 
the type
of tubing, etc. 
 
To make a long story short, today, AC4CA and I drove over to  see Dale, 
K4DG and take 
advantage of his offer to slot my tubing with his  
metal-cutting-blade-equipped band saw.
 
Needless to say, it was like "cutting butter!"  Twenty  pieces of aluminum 
tubing slotted
in about 10 minutes!!  ;-)
 
Much quicker and much more accurate than a  hacksaw!!
 
After the short work...  Dale was kind enough to give  John and myself the 
guided tour
of his very neat "shack" and of course the  very impressive tower 
installation.
 
Thanks again Dale...
