Why don't you put a 2 antenna switch box near the top of the tower and run one coax down and to the shack. You can even put the DC down the coax to switch the relay box if you don't want to run a DC

That picture of you digging your base hole by hand spurred me on to dig mine by hand too. What a job but it was nice and square. I hired a digger and operator for the three guy anchor holes Mark N1UK
I am using those Harris MOV's to protect my 12V DC lines. The spec sheet gives the capacitance of the device Mark N1UK _______________________________________________ ________________________________
I think that the tech just got it wrong......I doubt if it works like that at all. If you wish a port to stay grounded and inactive then you can remove the control line to it and it will never be act
I am putting together the diecast terminal box for my M2 OR2800 rotator. This is a sealed diecast box that mounts on the tower just under the rotator. It connects to the rotator by a short cable and
