I am helping a new ham club member to refurbish/salvage a Mosley CL 33.
The antenna was stored outside (I think discarded is a better word) so it
is dirty and corroded in some places. The antenna is partially disassembled
with the outer 7 feet of tubing plus traps separated from the center tubing
sections.
I need help with identifying which trap is which. I recall that there was
something odd about the driven element in that it is very similar to one of
the others.
The outer tip section lengths from the trap to the tip of the element are:
33"
33 1/2"
36"
These measurements could be plus or minus 1/8", depending on what you
consider is the outer edge of the trap assembly.
I also recall that Mosley put the number of trap coil turns on their
instruction sheets. Perhaps the traps could be identified that way if
someone has an instrucion sheet.
We are going to clean up the driven element and add separate reflectors for
15 and 10M (at least for the present), so the traps for the reflector and
director will probably not be used. The spiders and roaches are safe for a
while.
Help will be much appreciated.
