Do you have an antenna analyzer?

Or, wouldn't it be easier just to use a dip meter to
see where the trap is tuned?

Any others got a thought on this , i have no test gear at all and before
i start i was wondering wether it was worth starting at all , but if i
make a LC parallel resonant trap for say the 40m band , if i soldered a
small 50hm dummy load on one side and then fed the trap on the other
through a vswr meter with very small power could the the trap point be
measured or would the loading of the dummy load pull the resonance off as
i aware there be thousand ohms or so imp there , to save a waste of time
no suggestions to make a coaxial trap i not interested ...cheers paul...
