I am building a set of Phased verticals for 30M. I was going to switch in a 
quarter wave length of coax using a DPDT coaxial relay, to steer the signal 90 
degrees (Broad side to End fire). I went looking for the appropriate relay and 
found some (Surplus Sales) but the cost was more than I have in the two 
verticals and the cabling. Does anyone have an inexpensive source for one or an 
idea on how I might do it with a "regular" DPDT relay? I have some Potter 
Brumfield that will take the power but how much impedance "bump" will that 
insert and should I worry about it?

 

Ideas and suggestion are welcome.
