Thanks @dansaskip, just the sort of information I was looking for.Similar to roaringgirl I run lines between the mast steps outer ends from top to bottom as tight as I can. It certainly helps prevents wraps although as others have pointed out keeping the halyard without slack helps too, I know not always easy to do. I use thin cord about 3mm.
As usual the thread dropped down a rabbit hole of how radar signals work, clearly my ancient degree, that included such stuff, is well out of date and I read that there is a lot of 'processing' that goes on in those black boxes that we now use.
