TopBand: HELP with Beverage Switching ?

[John Vickers]

Hello All
For past year I've been using inverted - L and 30 ft high dipole for 160
receive. Seeing that I had about reached my limit with my receive
sitituation, started several weeks back installing some Beverages --- now
have 5 ready with 2 more to get up.

I've never even owned a coax switch (still use BIG knife switches) or just
change coax to change bands.  SO need some advice on building switching for
the Recv ants.

Searched Topband archives and found a question from PA3ERC but that was
all. NEED to know how critical is isolation at 1.8 mcs for 1200 ft ants ---
Have an 11 position ceramic rotary sw,  would like to use it if isolation
is not a problem on 160. Also interested in any other ideas or sugestions. 

 Am using .500 and .750 Hardline and reduceing down to RG 6 CATV coax to
enter shack. Have plenty of type F connectors and chassis mount Barrel
connectors. Not using any relay switching at this time.

Thanks in advance for any help --- please reply direct.
