Yes, thanks for the quote...

And sorry, I'm a Spanish speaking OM... When I said:

"...I need RHCP & LHCP switchable antennas..."

I was referring to two separate QFHA, one with RHCP and the other LHCP, 
with a coaxial switch... just like you mention...

I have to improve my grammar in English... hi hi hi..

BTW thanks for the articles of Maxwel and I'm viewing the site right now...
