I am about to put up an Ameritron RCS - 8V remote 5 position coax relay
switch on the tower. I will put up Force 12 antennas in the coming weeks and
would like to know :
Shall I ground the unused antenna relays or let them flow isolated and does
it matter in terms of antenna radiation pattern. I guess grounding is safest
in terms of lightning !! but I may ground part of the antenna which may not
be good.
The antennas are the 5BA which incorporates 3 seperate feedlines on the same
boom for the higher bands and the 2 element 40 and 30 meter interlaced yagi
with two feedlines on the same boom.
Thanks in advance,
Henrik
