I am finally getting around to detuning my 160/80 meter vertical on receive and plan to use a simple 12v relay to turn off the power to the antenna switch and the DXE Time Variable Sequencer to make sure the on/off timing is correct.

Before I go down that road, does anyone have any suggestions?


What is your antenna switch, does it open or short, how far from the antenna is it, and how are you disabling it (how are you removing power)?
