[TowerTalk] Used Heliax ?

[Jim Hargrave]

Hi Bert,

You might think so..however....

I have a remote 4 position rotary drum type antenna relay. It has all "N"
connectors.
I have used this unit for about 40 years and it was surplus when I obtained
it.
It handles the full power output from my two Amplifiers (Clipperton-L and
homebrewed pair of 4-400's).

I think the secret is a good feed line and antenna match.
