[NLRS] Source for Aluminum

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Local blacksmith or welding shop. At least one near here has regular 
orders to a steel and aluminum wholesaler in Ft. Dodge who delivers by 
their own truck so the long lengths aren't a UPS limit.

In theory maybe Fastenal, but you'll need to haul it from their store. 
Suspended under your pickup or large SUV is a practical scheme.

I think Texas Towers will sell long lengths but shipping by truck gets 
expensive. Shipping anything from Texas Towers is expensive, that's how 
their advertised prices are better than average.
