I'm planning on putting up six sections of Rohn 25g. Someone locally 
suggested using 5/16th inch Dacron Rope
(UV Resistant) for  2 sets of guys on each leg. I'm only putting a Ham M 
rotor, hygain 4 el, 6 mtr beam (12 ft boom), 7 el 2 mtr quad (abt 5' ft boom) 
and diamond GP9, dual band  vertical. And a standoff with pulley and rope for 
wire antennas........Not much total windload. Aside from obvious retentioning 
periodically, any problems with doing this?? Any opinions/suggestions  would 
be appreciated..Thanks, Scott WA4DOS
