Hi All,

Could anybody tell me where I can buy Aluminum rod 1/8", 3/16", 1/4"
in 6 or 8 ft length for homebrew yagis in the US?
Years ago, one could buy this in hardware stores, all over.

One source would be McMaster-Carr, www.mcmaster.com

Some ham radio sources as well.

Industrial suppliers tend to have large minimum orders.
