Thanks to all who replied about the rope. I am looking into a few of the suggestions.

I use 5/16 black dacron from The wireman for all my tower work (Rohn 25) and have put up and taken down numerous towers over the last few years in and around Barrow County for fellow hams. I do use a Gin Pole, and the break strength of the #818 5/16 Black Dacron is 1260 pounds.  It's easy to work with and reasonably priced.  

 

I even have my 70 foot HF and 50 foot VHF towers guyed with it, at the recommendation of another local ham that moved to Barrow County that has been a long time SEDXC member, and has quite an antenna farm out here.

 

GL es vy 73, BE SAFE.

I could not find any info on the proper rope to use for lifting Rohn 25, 45 or 55 sections and antenna's. What is the proper rope to use and where is a good place to purchase? In my situation I have Rohn 25 and a log-periodic that I am lowering, 125lbs. All my ropes are 25 yrs old and I no longer trust them.
