[NCC] Looking for Abrasion-Resistant Rope

Hi All,

Most of my antennas are supported by trees.  The support rope typically 
goes over a branch and chafes as the wind moves the tree back and 
forth.  I have had poor luck with the STI-type rope that has the black 
outer jacket.  The branches wear through this jacket in no time.  Then 
the jacket bunches up and sometimes it is almost impossible to get the 
rope out of the tree to replace it.   I have one such situation right 
now that was installed less than a year ago.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a strong, jacket-less support rope?

Thanks!
