[TowerTalk] Pulling coax in conduit

Hello to all!

I have a 300 foot run of 2 inch PVC well casing that I buried.  I placed
4 cables in it before I cemented the 20 foot sections together but I
also included a nylon rope for pulling future cables.  I have a feeling
this small nylon rope wound around as the other cables were pushed
through so that it may be impossible to pull another cable although the
conduit is fairly empty.

I could always tie a larger rope on the small rope and pull it through,
thus changing the pull line.  That is an option but the basic problem
remains.

My question is does anyone know if electrical fish tape is practical for
use in a very large conduit 300 feet long?  Where does one get this
stuff if it can be used.

What I am aiming for is to put 600 feet of that double braided 3/16"
nylon through that pipe.  Then I have enough to pull from either end.

Any suggestions?

73,

Charlie, W0YG..>>
