Topband: : Re: 1 center point to ground all 8 beverages??

[Mike Cizek W0VTT]

If using this method for a pair of two- wire beverages, all FOUR ground
wires would need to be switched individually, not 2 and 2?  Will simple SPST
relays work or do they need to be RF rated?   Thank you.

I agree. We have been thinking of switching  at the coax cable location. 
Will need to correct my Beverage notes page. 
 
The W4ZV and W3LPL method will work.

W3LPL:

relays to connect only the selected Beverage to the ground rod
and disconnect the other seven. 

I've done this for 31 years from 3 different locations with no problems.
