that is why the Top Ten AB antenna switches use two relays to gain isolation...

Right. Almost all problems have more than one component. In problems like
this one, the sum is the algebraic sum of all of the leakage paths.
Relays DO have capacitively coupled leakage. I think I'm hearing numbers
on the order of -60 dB, which is pretty respectable for an antenna relay
or switch. I've measured numbers on the order of -50 - -55 with the Alpha
Delta switches.
