No pulleys it will span 350 and attached to the top of the tower most likely 
with turnbuckles.

John,

I use 3/16" double braided polyester to support the four T-shaped parasitic
elements in my 160m K3LR array. The longest span is about 250 feet, plus 100
feet+ running to the ground so these can be lowered easily.

Most of the ropes were purchased about 22 years ago from the bargain bin at
BoatUS/West Marine. They had slight imperfections.

The antenna wires are no. 12 insulated stranded THHN. I've had a couple of
wire breaks over the years but none in the ropes.

73/Jon

So my towers are up and aluminum going on. The 4 towers are spaced 350 ft
apart. Any suggestions on what I can run from tower to tower for wire
antenna supports?
