Default 80m inductor kit or a pair of 80m traps?

I found a good site on how to make some air spaced coaxial traps for each
band but that's all I could find.

Can traps be made up with enamelled copper wire as I have just ordered a
real of 20 swg?

I've found some good information on inductors but is there any good sites on
making traps with copper wire?

Thanks

I have up a half size G5RV and want to add 80 metres it. I don't have the
space for a full size.

What is best to go for a 80m inductor kit or a pair of 80m traps?

Thanks

If you add inductors to a G5RV, it will no longer be a G5RV. You might be
better off with an 80 - 10 m trap dipole. It will be shortert than an 80
meter dipole.
