[HBR] Relay switched coils?

[Ian Wilson]

I assume that one reason for the HBR using plug-in coils was to get high Q,
thus high selectivity, good image rejection, etc, in the front end. Using a
traditional bandswitch involves long wires (somewhere), thus loss and stray
capacitance.

Would using small relays instead of a bandswitch could provide sufficiently
good connections and low strays to preserve the good performance of an
HBR-type
front end without plug-in coils?
