Bill,

I have used the DPDT knife switch successfully in the past.
What I did was have the antenna come to the center or throw
of the switch. One position went to my Matchbox and the other
side went to ground. I have found that fully grounded antennas
are less susceptible to lightning strikes than ones left floating.
