Non Metalic Guy Wire

[skeeterman]

I need to order a roll of antenna "guy cord", and can't seem to find it. Several years ago, someone on this forum put me in touch with the company that carried it. Good stuff. Does anyone have the link/phone?

Thanks, I will check it out. The cord/rope that I have used, is only about 1/4" thick, but has held up very well, for several years.

This is the company that makes the stuff

Davis RF has Dacron rope and it works great. Kevlar works great also.

Good price here for parachute cord. https://secure13.nexternal.com/shar...BusType=BtoC&Count1=23494899&Count2=940635323 Basically the same stuff DavisRF and the others sell. Dacron rope. I have also ordered Dacron rope from DavisRF a few times. I've had the same Dacron guy rope up for about 5 years, and still going strong.

This is the link I put up before (same company Marconi put up):

It's the same stuff that AES/HRO carries, but direct from the manufacturer. They're local to me, and it's what I use.

FYI, Phillystran is also a manufacturer...they do many different types of rope that are suitable.

That is what I was looking for.
My groundplane survived the hurricane last year, but my neighbors tractor hung one of the guy lines and pulled it down yesterday.
That gives me a good reason to put up Jay's I10k that has been setting on a shelf for 3 years. And my neighbor is helping with cost and labor
Thanks for all the help.

I use the smallest dacron they make on a 36 ft pushup. Freestanding in a 10ft long peice of pipe half burried in the ground in concrete . Should have went alittle bigger but has took 70 mph winds and no problem. 2 sets of 4

I believe M2 is also using STI's ropes for all their boom truss'

Davis RF is reselling STI's rope BTW.
