The BCC splitter design suggested by PC2A is based on the "magic tee" splitter. 
 An excellent tutorial on magic tee splitters can be found on W8JI's Web site:  
  https://www.w8ji.com/combiner_and_splitters.htm.  These splitters are very 
easy and inexpensive to build.  

A 1:2 splitter design using a single ferrite core can be found here:  
http://michaelgellis.tripod.com/magict.html.  See Figure 7.  There is -3 dB 
throughput from the source to each load port.  This splitter introduces a 180 
degree phase shift between the two output ports but this is irrelevant for 
splitting a receive antenna between two receivers.  I have built many of these 
using Fair-Rite 2873000202 cores.  For a 50 ohm system, change the 37.5 ohm 
resistance to 25 ohms.  Use 7 turns (28 AWG magnet wire is suggested) through 
the binocular core on the source side and 10 turns center-tapped on the load 
side.  This will provide a 50-ohm input impedance on all ports and excellent 
isolation (>25 dB) between the two load ports.

Hi

May I throw up the BCC splitter?
