[TowerTalk] RE: HELP/ROPE

[bill wall]

Hi Turkey Day lovers;
   A few years ago a Rohn engineer told me this Gin pole was designed for
cable not rope. I would use the largest (I think 5/8" pulling rope) ( not
nylon) that will fit through the pulley head. Does your pulley have about a
5/16" groove machined or cast into it. He told me this was for the cable not
rope.
