Thanks Dan:
I will use the Nylon I guess, the Dacron is way too expensive isn't it? As it
is they said they wanted 13.97 for a 100' length of
3/8" Nylon.
Do you know if Dacron is about the same. My impression is that it is a lot more.
Hope I am wrong.
73 fer nw,

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
