- 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
