Good question I look forward to seeing what posts follow this. It's my
feeling that the percentage is quite small maybe under 10%.

How ?lossy? are traps on a trap tri-bander?   Some manufacturers of
non-trapped tri-banders cite the lossy aspect of traps, but how real is that
loss?   Can it be measured?   Would someone 500 or 5000 miles away notice
the difference between a  trapped tri-bander and a similar tri-bander
antenna without traps?  Notice I said tri-bander, not mono-bander, SteppIRs,
etc. 

Anyone have any idea?
