Pete,
See RF parts.com, search vacuum relay VC2T-13.2. SPDT will allow you to
change your mind about what state you want with no voltage to winding. And
you will not need to buy a 24 volt power supply.
Rated 12 kV will handle anything ham QRO. These are new, currentLy
manufactured items.
73, and Happy Holidays,
Guy K2AV
