MiniCircuits has exactly what you want, in MANY variations. Very good quality 
stuff. They sell through their own rep network, I think. I've used them in pro 
applications to split antennas for wireless mics in the VHF and UHF spectrum. 
Their catalog is online. You're looking for power splitters. The ZFSC-2-1-75 is 
good for .25-300 MHz. $46 in my very old catalog.

You can also build your own resistive splitters for the cost of the connectors 
and enclosure. They'll have more loss and much less isolation.
