Hi Dick,

Yes I did and a few others suggestions as well. Carsten and I have had a
few email exchanges and he is looking into the relay board he used.

On a different note I hope Lee was able open the file  sent him?

>> Hello Lee ...
>>
>> I am using the Hi-Z 8 Circle Array.  Just finished it up a few weeks
>> ago.
>>  Since that was the case, my 160 season has been kind of slow, though
>> I did work the FT5 a few days ago.  Now I am listening for the TO7 and
>> the 5I0.
>>
>> I am using the remote RF switching of the array, and it works very well.
>>
>> I mounted the transmitter in a plastic NEMA box on our TV tower at
>> about
>> 40 feet so it can see the receive
>> unit at the array about 1,100 feet from the house.  I mounted the
>> receive unit in another NEMA box at on a pole about 8 feet height.
>>
>> Also I am using the power over the coax cable power injectors.  As it
>> turns out, I am feeding the cable with 35 volts so I can see 13.8
>> volts at the array. (when the array is connected)
>>
>> The coax cable I am using has a copper clad center conductor. (my bad)
>> as it has a ton of voltage loss.
>>
>> When I redo the RG-6 cable runs for next season, I will be replacing
>> the current RG-6 coax with a pure copper conductor.
