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

[Filipe Lopes]

Thank you for your email, just one more question.

Do you put the relay directly at each antenna wire or do you just connect
the ground to a common point and you select and deselect the antenna you
want to be connected to ground?
