Hi there!
I've used550 cord for wire antennas for years and other than getting a bit
hard at the knots, it seems to hold up my 75m dipoles just fine!

Subject: [TowerTalk] 550 -parachute cord
any users of this cord? i recently got a few hundred feet of the '550'.
before i change out the rope supports on my wire antennas i'd like to know
more. is it UV resistant. better or worse that other ropes? seems to be
very
strong so wx/sun survival is my main concern.
