Default Re: antenna truss - lucky me

Last year someone gave me a bunch of pipes that had apparently been used to hang lights in the gym at the college. They are about 2" in diameter and white... which was my first concern. Picking it up a 10' section weighed about 5 pounds. Turns out the walls of this stuff are less than 1/8" thick. It reminded me of the tubing used to build the really cheaply made swing sets they sell at K-mart. Um. NO!
