Default 80m/160m trap dipole


. . . . I have searched the
web and have not found any 80m/160m trap dipoles. Has anyone added
traps to their 80m dipole to make it usable on 160m? Or could anyone
point me in the right direction towards homebrewing traps to suit. I
have made traps in the past for 40m/80m dipoles but I am unsure what
dimensions, length, turns etc I would need for homebrewing a trap to
make my 80m dipole useable on 80m and 160m.


I'll leave the home-brewing to others... its relatively easy, but if
you want to take the simple but more expensive route, there are traps
available commercially... Amateur Radio Electronics carries a fine line
made by Reyco. Their 75 and 80 meter traps sell for $53.00 a pair. I
just sold a pair of 75M traps a few months ago on EHam for $25.00.
