There is some leakage between ANT1 and ANT2 -- so you just switched in an attenuator of some unknown value. I will wager you had the preamp on too. Next time, you might want to try turning off the preamp to lower the noise, and possibly turning on the attenuator. That way, you do not have to switch to "no antenna", and you can answer the station without changing antennas.
