[Boatanchors] Relay contact arcing

[Glen Zook]

You wire the diode so that it does not conduct when
the relay is open.  Also, I would use a 1N4007.

to suppress the arcing?
 
This relay switches the CT of the HV tranny to ground
when you switch to transmit.

I have heard that you can use diodes like a IN4001,
but exactly how do you wire the diodes?
