[TowerTalk] A Better Rope?

[Eric Scace K3NA]

   Can you describe a bit further how you are using the ropes in the trees; i.e., how your antenna is rigged?

Subject: [TowerTalk] A Better Rope?


My Synthetic Textiles dacron rope is losing its cover (the black
sheath) from rubbing in the trees.  While the first run lasted a couple
of years, this time I got only 6 months use.  Admittedy, the number of
days of  rain, high winds and otherwise miserable weather has been
considerably worse this year than in the past.

The trees are tall (70-100 ft), and it's impossible to get near where
the ropes cross the branches.

Can anyne on TT recommend a rope with a strong outer sheath?

Thanks in advance,
