You "know" WRONG! This is one of those often repeated myths with little
basis in fact. A properly done coax connection is essentially lossless
at HF. Loss in a switch depends on the quality of the switch. There are
commonly available relays and switches and connectors with loss too low
to measure, and there are poorly built and junk parts that will
overheat, go intermittent, and/or fail.
