Well, now. All you sea-going types have overlooked a particularly valuable type
of line called GRAY LINE.
This line is always available locally, at least twice a day, and usually at very
little cost. Of particular note, since most hams are landbound, it is widely
distributed over all land masses. It can be obtained easily without going near
the water.
With the growth of population desity, and the problems of having antennas in
populated areas, GRAY LINE is the perfect material for antenna support lines.
It is difficult to see in all lighting conditions, so you may have to put some
tracer threads on it just to help you find it when you need to take up some of
the sag in your thin-wire invisible antenna.
This info offered to assist those fellow hams with antenna problems.
