[Antennas] 468/Freq in Mhz

Jerry,
Generally, yes. In specific applications that are also frequency 
dependent, the higher the frequency the better the aluminum tubing will 
perform because of skin effect.
In the instance of 160 through 10mtrs, you will probably do okay with 
the #14. I always cut a bit longer to begin with and trim to where I 
want resonance by test.
Above 10mtrs, the tubing will out perform the #14.
