[Elecraft] auto-disconnect antenna relays? (KAT100 related)

I've had a pair of 2.5 mH RF chokes from each side 
of my open-wire feeder to ground for years.  This
provides a DC path to ground with no apparent ill
effects. Seems to work. Like a lightning rod, one 
doesn't know if it works until it doesn't. (;-)

I assume that the same would work for a single
coax center conductor.

Yes, I know there is a likelihood for this to "mess 
with the impedance", but I've seen no problem
because of this arrangement. YMMV
