Are there commercially available traps for wire antennas built according to your design 
recommendations? Any that are KW-rated? If so, which ones (specific mfrs/models)?

This question has immediate significance for me -- I just blew up a 600w-rated 15m trap 
running 1.2 kW into it during CWSS.  

And if I have to "roll my own," are there any good published designs, and what voltage 
rating do I need for the capacitors?
