Hi Chris,

I've found additional info on the broadband Wilkinson combiner on my hard disk,
which I believe stems from an old ANZAC data book.
The info refers to T2 and there are two ways of how it can be made.
Type 1 corresponds to the design shown in the mini circuits application note
with the bridging resistor on the 100Ohm side of the transformer
and type 2 is exactly the design which Jay is using with the bridging resistor 
on the 
25Ohm side.
Beside the pictorial view schematics and equivalent circuits are shown for 
better understanding.
