I help other HAMs in the area with there Antennas. I have one to put back up next Friday. But i use rope a lot in running tools up and down the towers and lifting antennas and such. I used to not ware gloves but learned the hard way it is important. The fist time i worked with a hemp rope i figured id rather buy more expensive rope than to play with that stuff again. Ouch!
Nice job on the handle wrap. Looks like a fine tight job!
