this is an interesting question... I wonder if it's a "sensitivity to small changes in component values" issue? Designing a trap antenna so that when its brand new it has the right performance should

detailed level. So maybe if the L or the C of the trap changes significantly, then the trap resonance changes, which then changes the apparent series L or C in the element. Trap Q is more difficult

Last year I spent quite a bit of time with the VNA/SA and trusty 259 trying to determine the precise resonant point of a Hy-gain trap. In the end it was a failure - I could not pull the environment o

Recently, an article on p.43 in the February, 2015 issue of QST discusses trap performance and test fixture criteria. The article is titled: "Test Setup for Measuring Traps." The author used a miniVN

All of this makes sense to me. Also, a trapped is a shortened antenna, so radiation resistance can be lower relative to loss components. And the difference need not all be dissipation. Any antenna wi

And the difference need not all be dissipation. Any antenna with "gain" concentrates its radiation in the desired direction(s) by "stealing" it from other directions. Not necessarily. At 1500 W from

I dug that article out of my stack of to-read stuff. And just like you say, there is a very nice looking article in there with a very slick test setup. I'm sure it gives repeatable results. Meaning i
