Can you recommend a type of rope that can sit in the drain tile without
disintegrating and also handle the duty of pulling some small coax, rotor
wires, etc?
"Jet Line" (a nylon multi strand, small, light rope made just for wire
pulls). Almost any electrical supply store will have it.
Or - Parachute cord.
It is WAY easier to tie your pull line to a sock with a rag in it and suck
it through the conduit with a shop vac, or blow it through with compressed air,
when you're ready to make the pull. A pull line just hanging out in the
conduit will tend to wind up under and around existing wires (kind'a like coat
hangers getting together) making the pull quite difficult. Unfortunately your
choice of drain pipe as conduit probably precludes this.
