Topband: Passive Receive Antenna Splitter

Can anyone point me to a design for a splitter for sharing a Beverage 
antenna between two receivers?  This is for Field Day so these are not 
optimized Beverages by any means.

Just want to allow the 80/40M stations to share antennas.  Nothing fancy.

My thoughts are to just use a CATV "2-Way" splitter at the output of the 
Beverage matching transformer and run separate feed-lines to each radio. 
I'm pretty sure these things work down to 1 MHz but have not measured 
them.  I can use the pre-amp in the radio (K3) to compensate for the loss.

Thoughts?
