      I think you lucked out. This doesn't sound like legitimate or safe guy 
material.

      Is it for Rohn 25? The only things to use are EHS cable or Phillystran. 
Nothing else has the necessary strength. 

      For light and short-term duty other than Rohn 25 (push-up masts, etc.), 
use any old synthetic rope. Marine stores, industrial supply stores, etc. 
have lots.
