Topband: Switching direction with Slinky Beverage

Hello All,

Going to explain my plan and looking for input.
Due to loosing access to land near my house I no longer have 4 x 170m 
beverages.
So the plan is to have about 150ft with slinky's along the length and 
put a relay at each end before it slopes to the transformer/Resistor, 
last wooden post.
The idea is to have 2 ground rods at each end spaced a few feet apart 
one with resistor and one with transformer wires going from each up to 
the relay mounted on the last
wooden post. So idea being when both relays are energized that changes 
the direction.
I have not tried the slinky beverage but willing to give it a go, its 
the switching that could be a problem maybe not enough isolation????

Thanks for all the great info I have picked up on this list.
