When we built our new house last year, I had the constractor install a 100 foot 
run of 6 inch PVC from the shack to the tower site. However, I did not like the 
rope that he used for pull ropes in the PVC - the diameter seemed to small and 
did not appear to be strong enough to pull multiple cables through. I wonder if 
anyone out there has looked into the best rope type to use that has small 
enough diameter, but yet has the strength to handle pulling multiple cables 
through. I am particularly concerned about the rope not getting caught on 
existing coax/control cables already installed in the PVC. Thanks for any 
assistance!
