I was thinking of either a manual switch that grounds the antenna port 
(so you don't have to be mating/demating the cable) or a suitably 
configured antenna relay box. (e.g. the RCS-8V is pretty easy to set up 
so that it grounds an antenna port that's not in use).

Clearly, we're not looking for the switch to carry kiloamps.. more just 
to keep the transient away.

A Daiwa CS-201 for $20, for instance.
