Can you  recommend a type of rope that can sit in the drain tile without  
disintegrating and also handle the duty of pulling some small coax, rotor  
wires, etc?


"Jet Line" (a nylon multi strand, small, light rope made just for wire  
pulls). Almost any electrical supply store will have it.
Or - Parachute cord.
 
It is WAY easier to tie your pull line to a sock with a rag in it and suck  
it through the conduit with a shop vac, or blow it through with compressed air, 
 when you're ready to make the pull. A pull line just hanging out in the 
conduit  will tend to wind up under and around existing wires (kind'a like coat  
hangers getting together) making the pull quite difficult. Unfortunately your  
choice of drain pipe as conduit probably precludes this.
