Topband: Relay bounce

I am using an Ameritron RCS-4 antenna switch to select between beverage
antennas. Recently, it has developed a bad case of relay bounce causing an
S9 spike every time I switch between antennas. Any suggestions on how to
improve this ? Since it's only used for RX antenna selection, I'm amenable
to replacing the relays with something else, although I have had issues
before with other relays due to no current going through the contacts.

Thanks and 73,
Steve, N2IC
