Can anyone point me to a design for a splitter for sharing a Beverage antenna between two receivers? This is for Field Day so these are not optimized Beverages by any means.

Just want to allow the 80/40M stations to share antennas.  Nothing fancy.

My thoughts are to just use a CATV "2-Way" splitter at the output of the Beverage matching transformer and run separate feed-lines to each radio. I'm pretty sure these things work down to 1 MHz but have not measured them. I can use the pre-amp in the radio (K3) to compensate for the loss.

Thoughts?
