I should clarify ... this is for a wired connection ... to bring
the 160/80m coils in and out of the circuit:

I think that his original design used a single 3PDT relay - but I
may have misread it - this version is said to be an update of the
original.

    Nope.  You need something like this:

        I recently acquired one of these 3PDT relays:

        I have an application to cold-switch sections of coil inline with
        my 43' ZeroFive vertical to help with tuning on 160 + 80m.

        Anyone know if this relay would be suitable to the task at full
        legal ... or for that matter for RF in that application at all?

        Thanks ... David KD4E
