I have done that, as well as using the Beverages for receiving two directions
at the same time without interaction.

I build my own components. I have no experience with ICE.
You can use a conventional two wire Beverage with transformers at both ends.
That allows access to the far end at the feedpoint.
What you do is bring both "ends" of the Beverage back to the shack, and
terminate the lines in a terminating resistor. Bridging amplifiers driving
the receivers allow selection of both ends without affecting termination.
Running two receivers in one direction is even more simple, all you need is a
magic T splitter.
