Gary. if you are still reading this thread. I have a very early K9AY loop
and mast kit. I believe my relay box was the second version where you went
from DC/AC control to a three wire DC relay voltage system. The antenna
mast kit used galvanized timber spikes, if that helps date the system.

Hi Jim and Lee
Before we agree that we disagree, let me elaborate on few basic concepts for a
good design. Point by point and let me know which one you disagree.
