You are absolutely correct! I've worded it all wrong on that web page,
and it does indeed imply that the radio gets earthed via the knife
switch. The antenna is, in fact, connected to the centre terminals
of the switch, and the radio to the left-hand side (right-hand side
is earthed). Then, the antenna is switched from radio (left) to
earth (right) when not in use.
Thanks for taking the trouble to point that out! I'll fix the web
page next time I update the site.
