K8RI asked, in contemplating sharing his antennas between two
operating positions in the house:

Bog standard relays, selected based on W8JI's tips.

These relays are used for antenna switching matrixes used for things
like two-radio contesting & when I have the two rigs working adjacent
drivers for adjacent bands on the same tribander, I would suggest relays
like these are more than adequate for the application you describe.

Save the Dow Keys, Toyos & the like for something better.  ;^)
