Jay:
I used the 1200 Phillystran a number of years ago when I had a Mosley Classic
33WARC antenna with the 40m kit. I used the Phillystran instead of the black
"rope". The Phillystran looked better than the rope that Mosley included with
the 40m kit. It still looked as good when I took the antenna down as when I
put it up.I used the smallest clamps I could find that would allow the
Phillystran through it. I don't remember the exact size of the clamp because
I've changed from the Mosley to a Tennadyne T-10 log periodic.
