A potential problem with that relay is that it is not sealed. Moisture could get in, condense, and freeze. And if ice forms in the wrong place, the relay might not operate. I've had that happen befor

The contacts are not gold-flashed, that's just the lighting and reflections that makes it look that way in the photos. They are a cadmium-free silver alloy. Here's the data sheet. http://www.mouser.c

Have you considered elevated radials? Four of them 10' high (or even two!) would be MUCH better than what you have right now. My 160m Inverted-L: http://www.w0btu.com/160_meters.html#inv-l_antenna 73

One thing that would affect RF conductor resistance is the paramagnetic properties of the conductor. If, for example, it was bare iron or magnetic steel wire, then we would have eddy current losses.
