Why are you arguing with me?  This started because Peter said that
using a splitter presented a 37.5 ohm mismatch. That was wrong and I
was just trying to clear that up.  The only thing I missed was that
the antenna has the balun built in over there.  BFD.  That doesn't
make the antennas 75 ohms, just the connection to them.  Nothing I
said is incorrect, except for my spelling of balun.

You are free to ignore my advice.
