Topband: Detuning transmit antenna in receive

[wb6rse1 at mac.com]

My tower shunt feed for 160 and 80 is latching relay remote controlled. On 160, certain orientations of my very close RX flag result in reduced signal due to the influence of the tuned vertical. In those instances, I "detune" the shunt by selecting 80m. My amp has a rather dramatic way of reminding me if I fail to switch the shunt back to 160 when transmitting.

Just one station's solution.
