[TowerTalk] Weed Whacker Line?

[AA6DX - Mark]

Yes, I have .. and have never had it fail in being up over 2 years.  I am 
going to buy some ACE Hardware brand for the antennas I am just going to put 
up, as they have some that is pretty much colorless.  As far as UV, it does 
become less flexible, but not brittle, my experience .. 73 Mark  AA6DX
