[TowerTalk] Abrasion resistant wire antenna support suggestions

[NC3Z Gary]

Thanks for all the replies, there are a few that give me some good ideas.

I did not note it in my original post but I am using pulleys and Antenna 
Tensioner devices. The rope is not breaking due to tree sway. Between 
the trunk and the outside perimeter of the tree, the rope travels 
through and there are branches that the rope passes by, these branches 
move in the wind and rub against the rope.

But either steel cable of some sort for this area, or some sort of 
flexible tubing slid over the rope in this area I see as solutions. 
Simple enough but I was over thinking the issue and didn't consider the 
simpler solutions. Thanks for the useful replies.
