[Skimmertalk] Antenna for Quicksilver Receiver

[Mack]

I plan to add a Quicksilver receiver to my station set up this week for
multi-band use with CWSkimmer Server. 

1. What antenna are you using? Height?

2. Is the antenna dedicated to the Quicksilver or are your sharing the
antenna with a transmit antenna?

3. If you're sharing the antenna with a transmit antenna is it sufficient to
place a receiver protector on the front end of the Quicksilver and to short
the antenna input to ground via a relay during keying? Of course, I
understand there are many variables here and will measure the input voltage
to the Quicksilver to ensure I'm not exceeding 0.3mv. A mechanical relay
error that would send 1.5kw into the input of the receiver does make me
shudder.

I plan to use this limiter on the input to the receiver:
