Another thought on combining antennas via reversed splitters: The phase relationship between both antennas must be maintained. This requires the use of identical baluns and identical type and length coax cables from the balun to the splitter.

Failure to observe this requirement will result in unpredictable results, in some cases, great signal on some channels but others nearly canceled out completely.
