Low Cost Antenna Traps
Let's work through the design of a simple-to-construct low-cost antenna trap

La Trampa Balun
The choke balun has represented a more effective solution, from the electrical point of view, for monoband antennas

Multiband vertical
10 meters of vertical that makes for a handy 1/4 wave for 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m

RF Inductance Calculator
Mean diameter of the air core coil, measured from conductor centre to conductor centre include the wire insulation thickness, if any

Repairing Unadilla W2VS 40m Antenna Traps
The Unadilla trap is constructed with two concentric lengths of aluminum tubing separated by an insulating layer, thereby forming the parallel capacitor
