Many thanks to all those who replied to my enquiry about rope for 
hauling up antenna masts.

The general view seemed to be that polyester was better than 
polypropylene or nylon. 

Whilst at my local DiY store looking for something else, I noticed 
some polyester rope that was also green and therefore suitable for 
use in trees. I bought =A340-worth - it wasn't cheap. The first thing I 
noticed was that it did not tangle as easily as polyprop. 
Unfortunately, when I put it to use I found it was too springy to do 
the job - my efforts went to counteracting the spring and not raising 
the antenna mast.

I am back to using my blue polyprop. This seems to have most of the 
required qualities, except for the colour and the fact that it will 
have to be renewed every few years.
