[TowerTalk] TA-33 HELP

[Steve Rodowicz]

Larry,

I've checked some of my "older info" (circa 1970) and its all been 
consistent with the coil turn count I mentioned.

Your coils were probably mismarked by Mosley.  (Another possibility is that 
they were marked correctly for assembly into another "Trap Assembly" for 
use on a different antenna. I'd go with the "turns count" unless Mosley 
says different.

Could always give Mosley a call to verify.
