hi allan,

http://www.mcmaster.com great online catalog,
they got everything even the kitchen sinks !
they even have local pickup if there is one in your area
to save on the truck fees.

how about ebay, lots of tubing online,
I got some nice 6063 (higher corrosion resistance)
.5 od from a guy in california.

Problem will be the ship fees, 12' is by truck.

Got to be a local place that has it.

73 tube guy

Allan -

The McMaster-Carr warehouse for the Midwest & Chicago area is along TriState
Tollway (I-294) between Grand Avenue and North Avenue ... they have a
pick-up window for locals !! ... and are less than 1 mile from my QTH.

That and Charles Penniger, KC9DAO -- who sells aluminum tubing up to 24
feet in length (Chicago area) -- start with Chuck -- and save yourself grief
and large shipping or freight charges.
