Consider a fan dipole for 30 & 60m?Simpler to get working. No traps needed.Just wire.Jay....NE2Q -------- Original message --------From: Richard Solomon <dickw1ksz at gmail.com> Date: 1/27/23 11:52 AM (GMT-05:00) To: Antennas at mailman.qth.net Subject: [Antennas] Trap Dipole Question In making traps for a Trap Dipole, how doesone come up with the Coil size ? I can calculatethe inductance, but resonance can occur with agreat many LC combinations.So is one ration better than another ? Does Q factorinto the calculation ?Thanks for any guidance you can provide, I amtrying to come up with a design for a 60 & 30Meter Dipole that I can use in an Inverted Vconfiguration.Tnx es 73, Dick, W1KSZ______________________________________________________________Antennas mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/antennasHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Antennas at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
