I want to construct a 80-40-20 meter dipole, but want to trap the 80 meters to
shorten the length. Does anyone know where I can get good quality traps? I am a

Thanks for all the responses, but I seem to be more confused because it seemed I
got differing opinions. As I said, I am a beginner at antenna theory. The
frequencies I am trying to make an antenna for, are centered at 3.875, 7.225,
and 14.250. Those are the center for the phone frequencies on the US bands. I
wanted to shorten the 80 meter band antenna. I would have kept the 40 and 20 at
the specified lengths. I guess I will buy the ARRL book. But they also make a
long wire classic book. I might get that instead. .
