If using this method for a pair of two- wire beverages, all FOUR ground wires would need to be switched individually, not 2 and 2? Will simple SPST relays work or do they need to be RF rated? Thank you.

To: Topband I agree. We have been thinking of switching at the coax cable location. Will need to correct my Beverage notes page. The W4ZV and W3LPL method will work. 73 Bruce-K1FZ www.qsl.net/k1fzbeverage_antenna.html http://www,qsl.net/k1fz/beverage_antenna.html ----- Forwarded message from Bill Tippett ----- Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 05:19:48 -0400 From: Bill Tippett Reply-To: Bill Tippett Subject: Re: Topband: 1 center point to ground all 8 beverages??
