[TowerTalk] terminators on a antenna switch

Another question.

I have a Delta-4 coax switch with uhf connectors.
Antennas are a multiband yagi, 80 dipole and the 3rd connector is for
the dummy load.
That leaves 1 antenna position open.
Should an unused position/coax connector be covered with a termination
connector.
I know that cable coax distribution blocks should have termination caps
screwed onto unused ports.
Should the same precaution be taken with antenna switches?

How would you go about making a termination connector? Just short it
together?
