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 you.

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.

W3LPL:
Another solution is to use
relays to connect only the selected Beverage to the ground rod
and disconnect the other seven.
I've done this for 31 years from 3 different locations with no problems.
