Real kevlar rope is fire resistant. I have side scan sonar cable that a bernzomatic torch will not melt. The only way I can cut it is with a sharp hacksaw blade. Spencer W1GAK _______________________

Uh, ya but heat will burn/melt the plastic jacket off of the Phillystran and then it is exposed to the elements. Why do we call the environment the elements, anyway. What has Earth, Fire, Air, Water,

Kevlar may be strong, but it is adversely affected by rain and UV. Don't forget to seal the end caps. 73 Roger (K8RI) Elements are rain, wind, fire, and earth. All that other stuff is just made up. E

What is different about Phillystran that they emphasize sealing caps on the ends of the cables? The core is quite small (That stuff is strong) and made up of many fine strands. 73 Roger (K8RI) ______

Greetings all, Has Phillystran fallen from favor? The only supplier I now find (and I have nothing against them) is DX Engineering. I have used the HPTG1200i in the past as boom supports for 6 and 2m

If it has fallen from grace, I don't know why...maybe cost?  On my new tower in V31 I use some of the old stuff (potted ends, 6700#) on the lowest set of guys and brand new 6700# stuff) on the rest o

Since Phillystran has been unobtainable or costly, I've been recommending Mastrant-M to my tower clients. I've had Mastrant-M at my station for 5 years now and it's held up very well with little or n
