-- Forwarded message from K1FZ-Bruce -- 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.
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 y

Hi Mike, If you must use a single ground rod for multiple Beverages, the ONLY active connections to the ground rod should be the connections to the selected Beverage. All other connections to that gr
Hi Felipe, As W4ZV noted in his posting, three meter ground rod spacing was not enough when he brought multiple Beverages to a common point. A much better solution is to use inexpensive hermetically
Hi Don, Thanks for your reply. My bev system has 3 bevs starting from the same point, 330º , 0º and 45º. I understand what you mean but unfortunately I think the relays are not a good solution for me
Hi guys any other suggestion? Maybe this is the reason why my EU direction bevs never worked fine... the ground rods are about 40cm from each other. What about using 1 radial in each direction attach
Hello Frank Thank you for your email, just one more question. Do you put the relay directly at each antenna wire or do you just connect the ground to a common point and you select and deselect the an
Hi Felipe, I've never done Beverage switching in my antenna field, my nine receiving antenna feedlines go individually to my shack. But I'll speculate a bit, perhaps others can comment based on their
