[Antennas] Remote SW for open wire feeds?

Mon, 14 Jan 2002 19:29:40 -0500

Assuming that you wish a LATCHING type relay, you could build one from a
pair of P&B latching relays in a PVC box.  As long as you don't switch
'hot', they will suffice, providing the contacts are heavy enough for
the load current.  [Usually 10A contacts are sufficient in amateur radio
purposes.]  I've built similar switching circuits.  Might have one
around the 'junque box'.
