[Elecraft] Seeking loop Antenna Parts

[Russ Tobolic]

For the rope, try qualitynylonrope.com  I'm not sure if they have grey or brown but I bought a 500ft spool of 3/16"  black polyester for $42.  AND they have free shipping for orders over $25. Russ, N3CO

So, based on a brief survey today, my first "real" antenna will be a
nominally horizontal delta loop, while I save for and get construction
designs approved for my tower.  I'm seeking some specific parts and
"preferred" vendors:

1) 3 each, 3" / 75mm MINIMUM diameter "plastic" (UV resistant) hanging
pulley with swivel eye, sealed ball bearings, for cable/cord diameter of
3/16"
I don't see what I want readily available.  I can build them, but I'd
prefer to not have to.  Yes, 75mm minimum diameter to minimize loop wire
wear/hardening and maximize freedom of movement.

2) 500-1000' Dacron/Polyester cordage in grey, brown, OD green, black in
that order.

3) 500' nominal, 14 AWG, THHN stranded annealed copper, gray.

4) telescopic pole, preferably cable of free-standing with loop
attachment NLT 30' with minimal tip flex.  I can build this using
locally sourced materials, some drilling, welding of supplemental
retention nuts, and tapping, etc, but I'd prefer to get this up in the air.
Alternatively, I could provide counter loop guy(s).

The rest I can likely source locally.  If I wasn't trying to get
operational "with dispatch", I'd simply custom build the pulleys and
station point pole.  I may still do so.
