[TowerTalk] Remote control

[VR2BrettGraham]

I believe N6RK has posted in the past his use of latching relays to
band switch a LF vertical - perhaps close to what PA4N is thinking
of doing?

Getting power out to a relay like that is pretty easy, but here's an
alternative...

Two places where I have considered something similar to this is
switching between 40 & 30m on a linear loaded 40m dipole (by
shorting across the linear loading sections) & to switch in top loading
on an HF2V - some sort of home brewed lever switch activated by a
pull cord.

Much easier to "decouple" the pull cord & in my situation at least,
the cord could come straight in to the the operating position.

Sometimes the dumbest, inelegant or seemingly ridiculous solution
might be the best.
