    Is the 3/8" rope for the haul rope? It's pretty small which makes it 
difficult to grasp by hand.

    Where? Ginpole? Wire antenna halyards?

    The BEST pulley I've ever used is a lightweight high-impact plastic one 
that linemen use. It's always the first one up the tower. It's a snatch-block 
(which means the top opens up so you can hook it onto a rope anywhere) and is 
available from  <A HREF="http://www.championradio.com">www.championradio.com

    Otherwise rigging shops have the steel chinese variety - they're adequate 
and cheap but heavy. They use a clevis/shackle as the attachment point - 
they're snatch-blocks also.
