The rather common 10-13A contact DPDT or 3PDT relays have held up fine in
many amps for 30-40 years with no problem.
Isolation isnt the greatest at 10M but that wont bother a transceiver. Add a
30-33pf disc ceramic from the bypass side to ground to cancel the XL and
resultant VSWR at 10M.

The common Bosch-style 12volt 30 amp automotive relay has been used to a bit
of success. They are available most everywhere.

Steve, you might want to take a look at the PCB relays used by Inrad in
their antenna switches. IIRC, they have been tested to 1.5 KW
continuous, 30 MHz and at 3:1 load SWR, and the last time I bought some
they were $2 each. Amazing. W2VJN did the design and test.
