Excellent Traps for replacement. |

Hi,
I purchased a set of these traps to replace the failed units in my old RippleTech 40/80M trapped dipole.
I found that i had to extend the outer sections by about 2.5M but apart from that they are a bolt in fit.
The antenna seems to radiate a lot better now with much stronger signals noted on both bands.
I am waiting for the wet season here in Nth QLD to evaluate the traps in the wet weather.
OK - I have been using these now here in Innisfail for the best part of a year and whilst everything I have said about them previously is true, you will definately need to put a cover over these traps to keep the rain off of them.
They are fairly high Q traps and as such they work a treat but they are quite sensitive to water laying on them in the rain.
I have found that a couple of old 600ml coke bottles suitably trimmed and slid over the traps works a treat at keeping the water off them.
They then perform extremely well in all weathers.
