Part of K9ay's msg.

As others have pointed out, RX switching relays can be more troublesome
than 
TX switching due to contact oxidation.  I used sealed relays in my K9AY 
loops,
K9AY

We encountered this problem in audio freq switching years ago, even with
sealed relays. The cure, let flow a DC current of some  mA
similtaneously with the micro Amps of the functional AC signal.
