Mel,
This works very well. Important to lube with a proper lubricant.
PRELUBE 6 CABLE LUBRICANT
PreLube 6 Cable Lubricant - The premier lubricant for lubricating crank-up
tower cables. Works great on pulleys and other moving metal parts. It stops
squeaks, removes moisture, prevents rust and penetrates the strands of the
cable. PreLube 6 contains rust inhibiting polymers in a penetrating oil to
provide a thin, transparent lubricating film against corrosion. 12 oz. spray
can. $9.50
Can be ordered from:http://www.championradio.com/misc.html

Subject: [TowerTalk] Lubicant for winch steel cables?

I am looking for a lubricant for the steel cables (rope) as used on
a 72' US Tower's winch. I have heard pros and cons on lubing these cables.
However, I understand there is a special lube made for this
purpose which avoids contaminating the cable from
dirt/foriegn material.
Does anyone know what it is called and where it may be purchased?
Tnx,
Mel, K0PFX
