Hello,

I have an INV-L for 160m which is working fine along with its 30 radials. The vertical part is about 16m. I intend to add two traps in order to use it on 80m and 40m. Is there anybody who use such a design for DX (meaning "in practice"). 
What is the difference in terms of quality between an 160m INV-L and an 160m INV-L with trap or traps (80/40m)? 
I already build the traps for 80 and 40m with RG58 coaxial cable and tune it with my miniVNA. The Q factor is around 20.

Thanks for any advice/ report.
