I'd avoid the TV splitters, quality is all over the place and the lower frequency limit varies. You would really want to measure the loss at 1.8 MHz before committing to use one. I've been playing around with satellite TV splitters (most specifically DirecTV splitters (

Frank, If too much trouble to make a proper splitter, a $2.00 TV splitter will work fine. The specs say they are good for 5-1000 MHz. but I've used them in years past on 160m and seriously doubt that, without test equipment that most people don't even have available, you would ever know the

Hi Frank, I don't know anything about 3-way splitters, but if I were in your situation I think I would sacrifice 1 dB and make a 4-way splitter using 3x 2-way splitters. 2-way is much more commonly used and documented, and quite probably easier to achieve than 3-way. The 4th port is simply
