As it turns out I have a a/b remote relay which uses DC signaling on the coax
line. However, I noticed significant degradation on the A antenna - 4:1 SWR
up from 1:1 before the relay.. I think this is induced by the RF choke in
series with relay coils not having enough reactance at 160.. It doenst happen
on the B side - which is the powered on state - because the DC voltage on the
choke changes it value...
Also note I have AM bcast coming thru when I use the relay .. dont have it
without. My thoughts on this are the contacts are rectiying the strong BC
stuff creating crud... Back to sneaker-switching runs ... too bad its
getting cold here in NNJ.
