Im going to be needing 500-1000' spools of polyester double braid rope for
supporting some more wire antennas in the harsh enviroment up here. The
5/16" is rated at 3400 tensile and the wire will be about 50#. ID likely
tension it to about 200-250# to reduce sag
Or would real Mil-C-5040H type III (550# ) or type IV (750#) paracord be OK?
Its certainly not as strong plus it stretches. That spec was inactivated in
1997 and Ive been unable to find its replacement.
I only want to do this once as I aint gettin' no younger!
