HRO also sells it.

Or you could go to the source.

The 3/16-in rope is plenty strong enough for antennas not under a lot of stress, and is fine for your application. We use it for FD and CQP antennas. For my very high dipoles (140 ft) strung between tall trees, I use 5/16-in, not for stress, but to give my hands enough to grab when pulling tension on the ropes.

With a this talk about "guying" and wire antennas. I have a 60 foot free 
standing tower I want to hang a couple of wire antennas from, where can I get some uv 
resistant rope? Several people talk about dacron rope, or phillystran. That's OK but 
where can  get it. People at my local hardware stores look at me like I'm nuts when I ask 
for uv resistant rope, even local boating shops are no help.Thanks
