Bill:
You might use the small Phillystran 12001 3/16" which is made for booms,
etc. I used it as the center element support and element alignment on a
Mosley Classic 33 WARC with the 40m kit for more than 10 years and it
was as good when I sold the Mosley as it was the day I put it up. My
Mosley came with some black Dacron rope, but I didn't like the
appearance so I used the Phillystran instead.
