Addendum from secretary:
After trying to purchase the band-pass filters and plexers, I found that LBS stuff is not available anytime soon, probably due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
We have another option which is to buy DX Engineering’s version, two multiband filter sets will come to $1,400 + tax. With this option we will need to run two antennas, but they will not interfere with each other.
