I am planning a two band antenna for 30 and 80m using linear traps.
The idea is to build the antenna of zip-cord type line 140ohm vf 0.73.
Trap is made using 1/4 wave shorted stub, decoupling occurs at the open end.
My question:
Is there any difference if the shorted end is pointing to the center or to
the tip of dipole.
Only the stub portion has two wires in parallell, the rest is only one wire.
