[CQ-Contest] Receiving Antenna Splitter and Switching System Question

Hello, contesters.

At our M/2 station, we are adding RX antennas and operating positions, and 
have outgrown our homebrew "six in, four out" RX antenna switching system.  
This system takes each of six RX antennas, and splits it four ways using a 
symmetrical 50 ohm power divider circuit (tnx W1FV), and relays to select the 
desired RX antenna for each of four operating positions.  Unselected antenna 
positions are terminated in 50 ohm resistors.

We have added several more RX antennas and also are now up to six 
operating positions, so we need a solution.

What are you guys with multi-op stations doing to split and distribute your 
receiving antennas to your operating positions?

I will summarize any direct responses.
