On "Low Performance Trap Antennas" : Is it really known what is the cause for
the apparently very large difference between a correctly designed trap beam,
say a TH6DXX or similar and one of the not so good performers? Trap loss can't
be a big part because even relatively low power loss at a given trap, say 50 W,
will burn the thing very quickly. Assume 3 elements, 6 traps that get exposed
on a given band and -3dB gain compared to better beam, this would be some
1500/2/6 watts, a lot of watts per trap. Even it not this much just loss,
there would be ample power to melt the insides of the trap.
