[SCCC] Fishing line for Antennas

[Steve]

Thanks to all for the suggestions. Basically, the consensus is my 
present line is not UV-proof and I should replace it with line that 
is (one or two suggestions were given). I don't want to use any sort 
of cord or other thicker line since the idea behind using the fishing 
line, in the first place, is less visibility. I started out using 
10-lb-test line, and while it easily hauled my first lightweight 39' 
wire into the tree without breaking, I got nervous about it when I 
replaced it with some heavier 13-kV HV wire to try to prevent arcing 
to the tree branches, lengthened the wire to 49-feet-plus, and 
replaced the line with the present 60-lb-test stuff. And yes, the HV 
wire WAS necessary: I found several burnt spots in the insulation in 
the far end of the original 39-foot wire that was ordinary 300V 
stranded, insulated hookup wire.

Thanks,
