Subject: [amsat-bb] Please help me design a polarity switcher...

I have both vertical and horizontal elements of my 70cm yagi coming into the
shack via separate runs of LM400. They meet in a box with bits of coax for
matching and phasing before going to the radio. 

I would like to add a relay to make polarity changes quick and easy. Do I
need to use a specific type of relay or will a garden variety DPDT from
Radio Shack be sufficient?

Thanks,
Elan WB2IOL
