I put a pi network (LPF) in between and it worked.
Yes, that's the "impedance inversion" Markus DF6NM wrote
about on the topic of "Wilkinson Combiner" recently.
A Pi filter with all X = Zo behaves like a lumped circuit
version of a quarter wave transmission line.
For 50 ohms and 136.75 kHz that is:
C1 = 23.3 nF across, L = 58.2 uH along, C2 = 23.3 nF across
Open load => L and C2 in series resonance => input looks shorted
Load = 50 ohms => input = 50 ohms
Shorted load => L and C1 in parallel resonance => input looks open
