Henk, the reference you mentioned is for a splitter/combiner (probably a 
magic T) the reference the original question is looking for is probably 
http://www.dxengineering.com/Parts.asp?ID=403&PLID=165&SecID=80&DeptID=12&PartNo=DXE-RLS-2

This will allow you to cascade a number of these to select multiple antennas 
using one 75  ohm feed line and no control wires.
