One very easy way to do it is to key a small high speed SPDT relay with
the "QSK" signal of the Jupiter. The realy common terminl goes to the
Jupiter, the NC terminal to the Beverage and the NO terminal to the
Yagi. In receive, the relay will connect the Beverage, in transmit it will
connect the yagi. By adding a toggle switch in the relay coil line, you can
manually select one or the other for both transmit and receive, although
you probably would not transmit on the Beverage. A time tested relay
that will easily handle the 100 watts and key in less than 2.5 mS, which
means it follows the full break-in keying, is the Radio Adventures BK-173
relay. It is used in the Vintage T/R Adapter featured in the ARRL
Handbook the last several years.
