Yes....Find on eBay an old passive video switch like the ones made by 
Dynair. (1x6 or 1x12)   Not only are they designed for 75 Ohms they 
terminate all unused feedlines (RG6) with a 75 ohm resistor. This is 
especially important when using two wire Beverages while trying to make 
the feedlines to each a multiples of a half wave (minus the VF depending 
on whether or not it is RG-59 or RG-6 foam.) which puts the termination 
electrically back at the feed box for better performance.
