Default Need design info on coax traps for dipoles

If your mind is set on coax traps, ok, but you might consider
something different. W9INN uses what he calls a "resonactor" in his
trap dipoles and I think they are far better. Basically, they are just
a single layer coil which is carefully trimmed to resonate at the
desired frequency with its own self-capacitance. There is no other
capacitance needed. The advantages are two: Very low loss and very
high power handling capability.


Consider that is a very good description of a resonant
coiled coax choke.
