[Antennas] Traps

[Kevin Nathan]

Hi All,

This winter I have been fairly inactive on 160, 80 and 40 meters primarily
due to a few problems with my antenna system.  However, I want to remedy
this during the summer.  Specifically, I want to turn my 160 meter inverted
L into a Battle Creek Special.  To do this, I need an 80 meter and a 40
meter trap capable of handling at least 1 KW.  Coax traps come to mind but I
am blind and have some trouble wrapping them decently and do not have the
facilities to test them for resonance.

If anyone on the list has such a set of traps that are tuned and ready,
please let me know.  I would like to purchase them from you if at all
possible.

Also, has anyone on the list built a Battle Creek Special and added 30
meters to it?  If so, what kind of results did you get on 30?  What kind of
dimensions did you end up with on the various legs of the antenna?

Thanks much and very 73.

Kevin :)
