[TVARC] Flagpole rope

[john at w3gqj.net]

Rich,

 

I had the same problem until I bought some antenna rope many years ago at
Orlando hamfest. I have not replaced it now in at least 10 years.

 

73,

John

I pulled my flag down do half mast this morning and noticed my rope has
separated from the inner cord.  I'm getting 4-6 months out of my ropes and
6-8 months out of my flags.  The flags from the store on 441 hold up better
than the ones from Amazon.  But I'd like to find a longer lasting rope.  It
seems to be getting picks in the outer sheath from the screws between pipe
sections.  Any suggestions?  I considered putting clear tape over the screws
but worried about it coming loose or discoloring with weather.

 

Thanks,

Rich
