maybe it was the guy that originally designed it, or it could have
just sounded neat to marketing.

what type of antennas are you planning on putting on the pole?
personally i would put a couple of good screw eyes with pulleys and
run some decent rope through them and use it for wires.

I think the word "Lift" is probably the most accurate term to use.
There is a good series *on YouTube referring to "AntennaVater" for the
same type of device.

I want to keep the structure as general as possible so I can continue
to experiment with a broad range of Ham *antennas from DC to light. I
shy away from rope because of the limited life expectancy.

Limited life expectancy????? I am still using some ropes I bought in
the 1960's. Some type of synthetic material nicely woven into a 3/8
inch rope. You need to investigate further, or buy some better class
of rope!

agreed. for something not accessible like that you need decent uv
resistant dacron. that is readily available and lasts for many years
under load. Check it periodically for wear and pull replacements up
as needed without climbing. if the pole is going to have cables
running up to feedpoints then use wire rope, just be sure to use big
enough blocks with the right materials.
