Shortwave Radio Antenna Rigging-Support Rope - Why Black ?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw.../message/14417
.
Black Rope generally is less visible then White Rope
and most colors when viewed against a Blue Sky.

.
Note - A run of White Rope is very visible against a
Blue Sky. Like seeing a Shooting Star during the Day.
.
Brighter Colors : Orange Yellow etc may have some utility
were the Ropes are low and a possible Tripping or Hanging
Hazard to people moving about and around them.
.
Green Camouflage {Camo} Rope can be used in Trees
so that the Rope itself blends-in and is less visable.

.
Another Factor is the Color Black : Like most Plastic Ties :
UV RESISTANT ROPE = http://www.cubex.com/hard.htm
The Black colored ones have UV Inhibitors to make them last
longer in the direct Sun-Light that is part of the Open-Air
Environment of Shortwave Antennas that are located outside.
