[Amps] Sources for 3PDT RF Relay - Rated 15KW+

[qrv at kd4e.com]

Galco is months-out before they have stock.

Array System wants nearly $50. shippped.

I'm thinking of looking for a reasonably priced set of
one SPST & one DPDT - sorting out acceptable specs online
is a challenge as most 12v 30A relays are not rated for HF.
