- Thanks for all the responses. Looks like EHS is the way to go. I like the idea of using Big Grips on the ends so that the terminations are adjustable and so the pulley can travel right up to the mast

- My preference would be one of the Kevlar based cables which is what I use for guy lines. Although much easier to handle and store, lighter weight, and though they are much easier to damage then EHS.

- This reminds me... One can relieve a lot of sideways forces on the top of the mast when tramming up a large, heavy antenna. The trick is for the tram line run from the ground up to the attachment poi

- Yes, it would be nice to use Phillystran or other Kevlar products. But there are two real big negatives that will keep most from doing it: 1. Expense - 1/4 EHS equivalent is 6700, $1.29 per foot, plu

- Jim - The 3/16" galvanized aircraft control cable is super flexible and rolls easily into a small space. It has the same or more strength than EHS and is about the same cost. 73, Bob - W3YY idea so a
