[TowerTalk] Antenna Switching -- Top Ten vs. WX0B?

I have two Top Ten antenna switches in my basement driven by a Station
Master.  I use it for 40-6 meter beams and my 160 Double L.  Not so much as
a hint of trouble in more than 5 years.

I think I'm going to need to buy some (perhaps as many as four) 6x1 relay
boxes.  I'll mostly be switching stub matching networks for wire antennas
for 80/40/30M, so reliability is more important than isolation or VHF SWR.
I'd like to hear any experience from members about these relay boxes and
other potential alternatives, especially on the subject of reliability.
They will be installed in the shack or directly outside under the eaves,
either way in a protected environment that's easily accessible.

Thanks and 73, Jim K9YC
