Topband: TX relays

[Ken Claerbout]

Milt's question was a good one and it got my interest since I am in the 
process of building an 80 meter transmit array.  It's unfortunate the 
discussion tuned into an excrement fest but it shouldn't come as a surprise. 
People are who they are.  Thanks to those who provided useful comments.

I looked over data sheets for a variety of DPDT relays but eventually bought 
mine from Array Solutions.  Why?  There were a lot of choices and I really 
wasn't sure which was best suited for my application.  I figured, and time 
will tell, that they have been used in enough applications and potential 
issues should have been sorted out by now.  Might there be something better 
or could I have got them cheaper?  Maybe.  But I don't have time to analyze 
this to the nth degree.  The project moves forward.
