Hello,

I'm interested to hear from you all, what do you use to switch RX/TX antennas on 160m band.
I'm currently use an INV-L as TX(RX) antenna and a K9AY for RX. 

In this moment I use a high power coaxial manual switch getting through INV-L or K9AY but this is very time consuming, especially in the contest.
I'm thinking of RX/TX switch choosing on RX between K9AY and INV-L and on TX, only INV-L, no metter what is used on RX side. I've tried with a high power coaxial relay but it doesn't work due to faster relays on PA. seems to me that a sequencer should be used.

Look for any practical ideas.

By the way, CQ160mCW contest was a success here with more than 600 QSOs in the log and several DX (also VE/K) stations.
