        Hello Stew and all,

  At WW2Y,   T/R relays were placed on splitter outputs to decouple all four
inverted L elements during receive.  Each inverted L feedline connecting to the
splitter are 3/4
wavelengths long, therefore shorting contacts are used to electrically open
their feedpoints.
 Most of the  Beverages run near and through the transmitting array without any
interaction by this method.   This will work for all types of receiving
antennas.
       73, Peter
