Have you ever thought of using a 2-wire bi-directional Beverage? They are
not complex at all. It only takes one more wire, two more simple
transformers, and one more run of coax. A remote relay and four extra parts
even lets you use just one run of coax for both directions.

If you run a single wire Beverage in the opposite direction, then you have
to put up twice as many supports (unless you have trees). But with a
two-wire Beverage, you can use the same supports for both directions.
