Are you sure about that?
Synthetic Textiles rates their rope at 1790 lbs for the 5/16" and 770
lbs for the 3/16". Most of the black Dacron rope sold by ham suppliers
is sourced from them.

The .3125 stuff has a whopping 1770 lbs rating. The dacron rope that
davis rf sells is one helluva lot stronger
