[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Grounding the feedline when Hi-Z is "on"

Finally, after 26 months, I turned on the Hi-Z 8-circle array (160M) this  
evening.  My situation is a little different from most:
 
900 foot run from base to Hi-Z field.
Using Green Heron base and remote box to select direction of Hi-Z.
Running a single RG-6 coax from base to Hi-Z field; no control lines.
Using a deep cycle 12+ volt battery with solar charger at the center of the 
 Hi-Z field to power the Green Heron and the Hi-Z which are on all the  
time.
All seems to be working well.
 
Now, the question.  I also have two sets of Beverages.  I use an  antenna 
switch to feed one or the other into the K3 as a receiving antenna, used  in 
diversity mode.  I'd like to add the Hi-Z 8-Circle coax to the switch so  I 
can select the Hi-Z or either of the two Beverages to feed to the K3.   BUT, 
the switch grounds every antenna not selected, so if I were to select, say, 
 Beverage 1, then both Beverage 2 and the Hi-Z 8-Circle feedline will be 
shorted  to ground.  Is this OK or not? I know shorts in the Hi-Z lines to the 
amps  are not allowed when the Hi-Z is on, but what about the feedline?
 
Looking forward to your answer.
