My tower shunt feed for 160 and 80 is latching relay remote controlled. On 160, 
certain orientations of my very close RX flag result in reduced signal due to 
the influence of the tuned vertical. In those instances, I "detune" the shunt 
by selecting 80m. My amp has a rather dramatic way of reminding me if I fail to 
switch the shunt back to 160 when transmitting.

Just one station's solution.
