You will likely degrade the transmitting performance of your VHF.
Splitters work, but never as well as separate antennae.

I am thinking of getting a "splitter" to connect my AM/FM radio to my
VHF
antenna (a Shakespeare 3' sailboat antenna mounted on the mast
spreader).  this
splitter is supposed to allow both radios to function at the same
time and
give good reception on the AM/FM bands. My stereo antenna now is a
car antenna
laying in the space above the forward windows, not too bad reception
but fades
in or out as the boat moves.
I would be interested in hearing the experience, good or bad, of
anyone who
has used this type of Shakespeare splitter  or other
recommendation.
