I've been using this to guy my tower for about 18 years.  The stuff is
still in great shape, but just for safety I plan to replace all of it in
a few months with new line - same stuff.
I've had several spare lengths tied to the tower, and every couple of
years I take down a length and test it to destruction.  After all this
time in the Louisiana climate, there's been almost no loss of strength
from when it was new.
