There was a recent discussion of using SSRs on the reflector.  Some like 
them, some don't.  My experience has been that it is necessary to filter 
the actuating circuit and the power circuit for RF -- my relay had the 
propensity to turn off in a strong RF field, which led to interesting 
behavior!  Since I fixed that problem, I have been using an SSR for some 
time to switch about 3.5KW at 220VAC without any problems.
