npub1u769rrygxqzauwnm5sa8ynuvt8wwk39g9n9ftq9sxez2q2kyjcjs8zqmwm (npub1u76…qmwm) Interesting! The weakness of kevlar is in long-term fatigue of the woven conductor when there's a lot of flexing. It's probably longer-lasting than ordinary wire in this respect, but not much. Tension is another matter. The apex of my vertical delta loop had to be engineered as a hanging loop to extend its life, though I was in an especially windy place.
