YUK!  Why would you do something silly like that, Bob?

Why not just a double-dipole with the 40m radiator hung about 2 ft. below
the 80m radiator?
And in the meantime, the ONLY way I would address that task is with a simple
OCF dipole but you need a very special balun/choke design, then it will be
free (enough) of common mode current.

Trap = Crap.

I want to try an 80/40 trap dipole at the ATL QTH.
For this, I need some traps!
I am not keen on coax traps.

Preference is for some store bought, KW rated, like those used on Hygain
DP-2BDQ or some nice homebrew (vacuum caps and big coils). Do I need to say
cheap? :-) $60?
