I'm relatively new to Top Band and would really appreciate help with info or 
references on the following:

1.  Thinking of converting my single wire one wavelength unidirectional NE 
Beverage to a unidirection/bidirectional Beverage per Fig 7-21 in ON4UN's 
book (use relay to switch terminating resistor in/out).  Wondering how well 
this works? Any suggestions on which relay to use?

2.  Would like to put in a second one-wave Beverage toward JA/VK, but would 
need to feed it from the "opposite" (NW) end.  I assume the options are one 
wire unterminated or two wire?  ON4UN's book seems less than a "how to" 
treatise when it comes to the two wire Beverage.  I'd appreciate advice on 
whether to go one wire unterminated or two wire.  Are there better sources 
of information on the two wire switchable Beverage?  (Would prefer to make 
my own transformers as well)

Tnx vy much & 73,
Barry  N1EU
