I have a small variety of wire HF antennas that I've placed high in my trees with a tennis ball gun.  All great except that the lifetime of the rope I've been using (3/16" polypropylene braid with an unbraided core) seems quite short, probably because of chafing against moving branches near the tops of trees.

Does anyone have suggestions for an alternative, hopefully an economic one?
