[UK-CONTEST] Remote Antenna switch?

[Martin Snow]

Hi.    
Be warned, I've just purchased a part kit from the States. It cost £33. 
The import costs amounted to £12.88!!!!!!  
I could buy the components in UK for less than the import costs!
The only reason I didn't, is that I don't know the values of the components.
