[TowerTalk] Pull ropes in buried PVC

[Glenn Thorne]

Jim,

How do you attach the cable to the pull rope?  Lot's of electrical tape?

A related question: what's the best way to get a coax run up the tower?  The 
last time I did this I just tied the coax to a rope and pulled it up, taping 
the coax to the tower as I came back down.  But that was only a 40ft tower. 
I have a bit more to go this time and am worried about deforming the cable.

Thanks and 73, Glenn/KD0Q
