  FYI: There are also conduit pull tapes that are woven with wires that 
are useful for antennas. The big advantage with these is they are about 
3/4" wide and will easily take 1000 lbs of pull since they are designed 
for high loads. The wires in them are used to stop pulling winches when 
a certain amount of stretch has occurred, thus avoiding breakage.
