Thanks Jim.
The thread on r.a.s. is useful too.
I'd already figured out the need for DC blockers on all but one output line.
Adrian tells me it is not too hard to make a splitter. 3 resistors of
16.5 ohms each and a small 47pF capacitor as a DC blocker makes a two
way splitter. Build into metal box with desired connectors on 3
sides.However there is no free lunch and you lose a few dB of signal.
This may not matter if the antenna is high gain in the first place.

Optimally, you'd use a GPS antenna capable of accepting the
summed voltage from all receivers, eliminating DC blockers which
can allow the failure of one receiver to kill GPS to the other receivers.
The link below is a thread on Rec.Aviation.Soaring, with part
numbers and 30-month-old US prices. The last post is from someone
who installed the same stuff.
