[TowerTalk] Rope/Guying

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

Except duct tape ages fast and the adhesive become hard and brittle.  I 
use a lot, but not for exterior weather sealing of things like matching 
networks.  Don't purchase a lot as it ages while still in a roll. At 
least what I have, has.   Paracord comes in many colors, but are any of 
them UV resistant?  What is paracord material?  Nylon?  I don't think 
it's poly, but could be?  Anyone know?
