I'm now looking for the best solution for a coax switch that can be activated
by a toggle switch that could ground the antenna.

The ability to switch antennas would be a plus but not a requirement.

Other's have raised the point that my ground connection from the second floor shack
in inadequate.  It's a 25' length of 12" copper strap from the single point ground in the shack
to the earth grounding system.

I agree that is's inadequate but it's all I have.  I would design in a ground floor shack
if I had the ability to rebuild the house but I'm stuck with what I have right now.
It's better than nothing - no?

Anyway, I would greately appreciate some answers on what coax switch I can buy toggle switch activated.

Thanks, Larry N2LA at mindspring dot com.
