How do you plan on actuating the switches? I tried some knife swithes and
thought I could switch them using a hook on a pole. This didnt work very
well for an all band antenna.
When I was in high school, I built my dipole with
a pulley at each end. For changing bands, I just let
the dipole down and either installed or removed the
jumper wires across the insulators. An Inv-V would
only require one pulley.

Yeah I thought about this but was trying to stay away from raising and
lowering the antenna. I used to have the antenna on a pulley but found that
sometimes the neighbor kids would lower it for me. The ones who were doing
it arent around anymore so I guess its safe to put it back up now.
I hate when kids mess with my antenna stuff!
