[TowerTalk] Using CATV splitters at HF

Has anyone ever measured what happens to insertion loss and isolation 
with a modern 6-way TV splitter on 160meters?  I am still working on the 
problem of putting 6 paralleled BPFs at the input of my QS1R, and have 
been steered this way by another RBN user.  These splitters seem to be 
typically rated for 25 dB isolation and 3.3 dB insertion loss down to 5 
MHz, so the question is what happens below that threshold.
