[TowerTalk] "Q" (was no-subject)

[Maurizio Panicara]

When full size parasitic elements are present, I don't see any evident
advantage why to use a trapped element for driven.
Personally I never tested single traps efficiency, for sure I tested a
number of  tribanders on 10m comparing with same boom 10m monobanders.
Or because of traps, or because of spacing, the tribander never approached
the monobander gain and F/B.
