Why are you arguing with me? This started because Peter said that
using a splitter presented a 37.5 ohm mismatch. That was wrong and I
was just trying to clear that up. The only thing I missed was that
the antenna has the balun built in over there. BFD. That doesn't
make the antennas 75 ohms, just the connection to them. Nothing I
said is incorrect, except for my spelling of balun.
You are free to ignore my advice.
