Folks,
I have decided to try the mil-spec 3/16" dacron braid which
Radio Works is selling. This is on a bug-out antenna, here in
MD, a wire which will be low-profile, and hopefully quick-deploy at the
next qth. (no pulleys...just raw rope hanging over the trees @ 80'.)
Lots of friction, and easy squirrel access.
I expect this will get 4 months of MD sun, and a large population of
squirrels on it. It's not mating season, though...so we'll see if the
buggers care.
I'll report rope condx when I strike the thing...and will try something
else, if there are any signs of problems. The stuff is inexpensive....
ten cents a foot.
Thanks to all for your inputs. I've logged the responses.
