Don't bother with traps or coils in radials. What counts is the number or radials even if they are short as I understand the greatest loss is the current distribution closest to the actual antenna. I

With a 120 foot tower and beam(s) on top you might have enough top loading that the tower structure appears to long for 1/4 wave 1.8 Mhz resonance. You need to also isolate the 40 foot ABG side conne

Rob, Some of the high band ops at FT5GA appeared very proficient. I think the key problem here for most of us is the lack of TB interest, lack of time spent, lack of persistence required for a succes
