Polyester rope is a good choice (Dacron is a brand name of it).  Polyester 
will almost not decay unless exposed to chemical or flames.  Have had mine 
up for years and it is till going strong.

Parachute cord has worked extremely well for me - it's multistranded and
braided as well.  I don't know if it is nylon or Dacron, but I think it may
be UV resistant.

I would not use nylon for outside use as it is very susceptible to UV
degradation and will break after a while. Use polyester which is much more
durable. Double braid is much preferred over three strand. And black or dark
color blends in better.

Special thank you's to all that responded to my
antenna request
for information and recommendations. I received a
wealth of 
information and knowledge and as soon as the 40 to 50
mph
winds subside and the temperature stays in the 60's
for a day or two
I am going to try and reinstall my bolted together
set of 2x 4's 
with a radio works pulley system at the top
(hopefully that won't break like my last nylon cord
did) and be able to try various center and off
center fed antennas. What was surprising was that I
didn't receive
any comments on the AV-18HT. I would imagine that the
expense
of this antenna and the effort to install it might
have something to do
with this. Thanks again, all comments were greatly
appreciated.

I agree.  The black polyester double braided line with a monofilament
core is not only highly UV and decay resistant, it does not stretch.
I have nothing but good things to say about it.
