[TowerTalk] 550 -parachute cord

Fri Oct 7 08:22:13 EDT 2005

Hi there!
I've used550 cord for wire antennas for years and other than getting a bit
hard at the knots, it seems to hold up my 75m dipoles just fine!

any users of this  cord? i recently got a few hundred  feet of the '550'. 
before i change out the rope supports on  my wire  antennas i'd like to know

more. is it UV resistant. better or worse that other  ropes? seems to be
very 
strong so wx/sun survival is my main  concern.
