I have been disconnecting all coax, rotator lines etc each time I finish operating and it's a real PITA.
Can anyone tell me about coax switches and 8 line devices that could switch all these lines
to ground using a SINGLE OFF SWITCH.
Pardon me for shouting but I'm SAT (sick and tired) of all the individual disconnects.
My disconnects are in the lines _after_ a Polyphaser single ground point panel with the proper devices
and a 12" copper strap out the second floor to ground (approx 30 feet) so I would _hope_ the strike is dissipated
at the point of the disconnects. However, I would feel much better knowing that all of those lines
were switched to ground.
I'm thinking of remotely operated coax switches and 8 pole relays. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Larry N2LA
