Subject: [TowerTalk] Relay for sloper element

TT:

I want to be able to switch a piece of #14 house wire onto the far end
of a sloper wire I have for 75 M phone so I can operate lower in the band.
I'm thinking of adding a relay in a weather-resistant box at the sloper's
end insulator and continue with the extension wire beyond that.? 

FYI:? The sloper wire runs from the 50 foot point on my tower to my
house roof where it is tied to an end insulator and thence to a PVC vent
pipe via a bungee cord.? The wire runs through tree limbs, hence my need for
a flexible connection.? I'm thinking I can mount the relay/box near the end
insulator and extend the additional wire further across the roof.? I'm
thinking I can run 15 +/- VDC to it from the station supply in the shack via

RG-58 coax up and across the roof to the relay box.? 
My question to this august group:? What relay (and supplier) would you
recommend for the job?? 

In the alternative, can you point me to a good source of info on
designing traps for said application?? The trap would not require any DC for
switching but might take more "cypherin' " to get working.? 

Many thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all y'all.
