[TowerTalk] Pull ropes in buried PVC

[KI9A at aol.com]

Rex, 
 
As a construction electrician with 26 years in the field, I respectfully  
disagree with the use of this knot.  I have made thousands of cable pulls,  
and,  I would use a kellum-type cable grip, with a swivel head.    Make 
certain the cables grip fits the wires, without much slack, use some thin  
tie-wire to help secure it, then, wrap with several wraps of electrical tape.  Use 
liberal amounts of wire lubricant.
 
If you plan on adding anything to the run later, pull a #12 stranded THHN  
wire in, to use as a pull wire later.  DO NOT use rope/string, as it will  
burn into the cables later, if you decide to pull something else.
