I have the Spi-Ro 160M traps ("antenna shorteners") here somewhere ... 
are they
any good and do traps typically reduce or exacerbate RF troubles?

Right now we live where a full-size 160M dipole, or even a Rhombic, is 
no problem,
but should we ever succeed in selling our FL home & 10 acres that could 
change in a
hurry!
