The only thing I know of that could destroy a Mosley antenna was what
happened to me: tower crash! I have salvaged traps from a TA36; if you or
anyone needs them you can have them for the cost of packing and shipping.
When this antenna was up, it easily handled the (old) legal limit).

Subject: [AMPS] Blowing Mosley Traps ?
Hi,
Any one out there actually experience a case of Mosley trap
failure; as used on their larger trapped beams: Pro series,
TA-34, etc.
If so, what power level, and if at legal level, at what vswr??
How did it fail? Open coil "wire", cap short?
Any info appreciated, thanks and Happy Holidays,
