[TowerTalk] Modeling traps

[L. B. Cebik]

A small number of folks have either raised questions to me about modeling
trap antennas or have expressed doubts that they could.  Actually,
modeling traps is a straightforward process, but with a pitfall or two, if
one ignores situations that change with frequency.  I have set up some
notes on the process at my web site, with a couple of worked examples (a
dipole and a test-model 2-element Yagi--sorry, no commercial antennas), to
help folks with the process.  It is too long for posting here.  Hope it is
useful.
