[EIDXA] antenna support line

[reheinri at rockwellcollins.com]

Rich,

Good thought.  For those wanting something stronger that does not stretch, 
try Radio Works - they have 3/32" Kevlar with a 500 pound load strength. 
It is perfect for those 43 foot verticals that need one tier of guying for 
wind survivability to 90 MPH.  It's black.  I use it for inverted vee and 
dipole end line - it is small, low wind load and is tough.  I've had it up 
for 10 years with no UV impact.  (200 feet for $25.)

Just another source/thought.

Rick

[EIDXA] antenna support  line






Kite builder is now back on the web.  They have "kite line" in different 
strengths to hang wire antennas.  This stuff is braided Dacron, mildew 
proof.  Line breaking strength to 200 lbs and higher.  Different colors if 

you like.  I suggest picking light colors, the dark colors tend to fade 
and 
the color comes off on your hands.    They also have heavy duty polyester 
line suitable for guy wires.
