Hi Gordon and all,

http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/mosley/rv4c/

Here is the manual for the antenna and it shows only two traps.   If I 
remember correctly mine would have only had two traps as I had it in the 
early 70's.  If I rememebr correctly I had to retighten screws/clamps or 
whatever to keep 75m going.  It is an odd adaption. I will look through my 
manuals to see if I still have a copy of the 75m kit. For now back to 
painting.
