[TowerTalk] Antenna Support Rope

[NPAlex at aol.com]

Dennis,
I can recommend a Dacron/Polyesther rope for antenna support work.   The 
Black Dacron covering provides UV and abrasion protection and the Polyesther  core 
is virtually stretch proof (unlike nylon) and very strong.  Various  sizes 
are available from Cubex Antenna company, 3/16",1/8" , 3/16" are suitable  for 
most wire antennas.  My choice is the 1/8" .

Hi,

Can someone suggest a source of black rope for use  in
wire antennae.

One such rope is 3/16 braided nylon(?) in a  black
sleeve.  

My use is for longwire installation from the  outside
of the insulators to the supports--trees in my  case.
