For gosh sakes JUST put a second antenna on like everyone
else. It will cost you a whopping 0.25 mph at 200 mph, 0.02 mph
at 200 mph. I think you can live with the drag.
Relays? Brother, just stop the madness and follow the normal
method, two antennas for two transmitters. There are transmitter
splitters and they are expensive, way more than a used bent whip
by a large factor. I recall the commercial tx splitter relay cost about
$300-$400. It makes a used bent whip on eBay for $60 sound
pretty good. You will also have better performance.
Look I fly B767 and B757's. They have an antenna for each radio.
I have flown 100's of planes in my flying career from just about
every Cessna and Piper GA plane, several bizz jets, regional and
large jet airliners. THEY ALL HAD ONE ANTENNA PER. Why
make it complicated?

PS: If you want to just receive consider a small rubber ducky
in the cockpit area to reduce that whopping 1/10 mph drag.
Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
