[RTTY] MFJ Antenna Switches

[af2c at njdxa.org]

I know very little about the quality of the MFJ switches.  However, there 
are a number of companies which produce excellent quality switches which 
send the unused sections to ground.

If you can locate some of the old Heath antenna switches...You'll have a 
switch which sends unused antennas to ground, has a ground position and has 
very little attenuation VHF or higher frequencies.

Good luck in your search.
