Are you sure about that?

Synthetic Textiles rates their rope at 1790 lbs for the 5/16" and 770 lbs for the 3/16". Most of the black Dacron rope sold by ham suppliers is sourced from them.

The  .3125  stuff   has  a whopping  1770 lbs  rating.   The dacron rope  that  
davis rf sells  is one helluva lot  stronger
than the  .. textiles industries version sold by  DXE and others.  Like  apples 
and oranges.
