- Hello, I have an INV-L for 160m which is working fine along with its 30 radials. The vertical part is about 16m. I intend to add two traps in order to use it on 80m and 40m. Is there anybody who use

- Hi Cristi, What a coincidence! I just finished building 80m and 40m traps last night myself and was going to build the "Battle Creek Special" this weekend. I have already an inverted L (coaxial versi

- If you already have a wire inverted L, it's not that hard to convert to a trapped antenna using either the Reyco traps or home made coaxial traps. See the info from K1ZM many years ago concerning the

- Us inverted L users must be thinking alike these days! I've started on this same project and decided to build my own coil/cap trap to use my 160m inverted L on 80m using ON4UN's Low Band DXing book a

- Hello all, Last weekend I succeed to install the two traps on my 160m INV-L to be used on 40 and 80m. The traps are made by RG58 coaxial cable wind up on 40mm plastic pipe. The 40m has 11 turns and t

- Hi Cristi, I built the BCS antenna about 3 weeks ago and I used RG-59 with solid dielectric for the traps. I build the traps to resonate in band (using the MFJ-269 as a grid dipper). I wish I had rea

- Cris, your VSWR measurements point to a system loss resistance, referrred to the antenna feedpoint, of 5 to 10 ohms. This assumes that the matching transformer is working well. The radiation resistan
