I'm supporting high dipoles fed by RG11 up 120 ft with the 5/16-in stuff

the base of one tree, 100# of dry sand at the base of the other tree.
The major issue with the rope is wear -- the pulleys must be first grade
to avoid abrasion, which WILL eventually break the rope.
Can anyone recommend some first grade pulleys? I am looking for
something bigger than what they have at hardware stores, 3 or 4
inch.
