If traps were as lossy and you think, why don't they just smoke and burn
up when on RTTY at 1500 watts?
Get your calculator out, and if they really are that lossy, would they
would catch fire dissipating all that loss?

The Navassa 5 really isn't that big. Probably has a smaller footprint that
a KT34a. And with full size elements may perform at least as well if not
better.
Stay away from trap antennas whenever possible.

My KT34a is acting up and I should probably replace it.
My tower is only an MA40 and cannot handle much, plus I want something
that is not too conspicuous.
A 2 element Steppir may be good for me but it seems they require more
maintenance than I can do.
Navassa looks good too but al the elements present an issue. The yagi will
be up 40 feet max, so it really will stand out.
Do I go back to the old CL33 and add a 12/17 rotary dipole or is that too
old school.
KT34a worked great but I do not think it would come apart for rebuild
