Just be sure the wire can slip off the sheave and get jammed in the gap.
Another possibility: Solder little loops of wire onto the antenna a few
feet on either side of the pulley and tie a piece of rope between them,
leaving a little slack so the wire can hang below the pulley. The rope
goes through the pulley, not the wire.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query. After digesting your
comments, I went online and discovered some pulleys that may be
appropriate to the job - <https://www.boatersland.com/scp28501.html>.
The sheaves are "plastic", and the low price has me a bit skeptical,
but I'll keep an eye on it. You can pay literally hundreds of dollars
for similarly-sized marine pulleys with carbon-fiber sheaves
