Topband: 2 wire beverage question

[Greg - ZL3IX]

Hi Ken,

Not quite sure to which arrangement you refer, but back in my days as 
ZS5K, I built a single wire 2-way Bev, using 2 lengths of coax.  I did 
bias them though, and used the bias to feed a relay at each end, which 
switched between termination or feed.

Not quite the same as you mean I don't think, but it is quite simple, 
and obviates the need for 2 wires.
