I learned a lesson a long time ago here, after I used big black tie-wraps on all my cables on towers. I have white ties and ropes that are still good after 14 years, and black that fell apart after a few years. While black color generally slows degradation down, black does not mean UV stabilized or even UV resistant. :-) If you want UV resistant, buy something that is UV resistance material or has UV inhibitors, no matter what color. 73 Tom _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
