I was looking for small diameter black dacron for guying my Spiderbeam
pole vertical and happened upon www.kitebuilder.com.  In particular,
check out this stuff:

They have four different sizes of that "Black Death" stuff.  50# stuff
is very small (0.7mm or something?) but I found it to be too weak for
most antenna tasks.  I think I've got some of the 150# stuff and I
think it's about 1.2mm and pretty strong.
