[Amps] vacuum relay

[Jim W7RY]

Agreed Jim...

I tried a Google search for his exact relay and it turned up nothing.

There are quite a few Kilovac, and Jennings RJ1A s and HC1 s on EBay right 
now. DO NOT use the HC3 relay.
Please make sure the relay you choose is a 26.5 volt coil which has 335 ohm 
resistance, and the contacts are rated for RF. Not DC (like the HC3 is).

I think the Gigavac K60C has been replaced by the more modern G60C. If it
has the same specs (roughly) as the G60C, it is not suitable for QSK. The
G60C relay is designed for switching DC or 60HZ loads up to 35A and 40KV. It
is quite slow (15mS make and break times). Best to find a relay intended for
RF switching with switching times in the 2-7 mS range
