How “lossy” are traps on a trap tri-bander?   Some manufacturers of non-trapped 
tri-banders cite the lossy aspect of traps, but how real is that loss?   Can it 
be measured?   Would someone 500 or 5000 miles away notice the difference 
between a  trapped tri-bander and a similar tri-bander antenna without traps?  
Notice I said tri-bander, not mono-bander, SteppIRs, etc. 

Anyone have any idea?
