[Towertalk] Re: 40M add-ons

[Joe Reisert]

John,

I put the Cushcraft 40 meter add-on on my A4S a few years ago. I blew up 
the 20 meter traps (the add-on) twice with only 500 Watts. The construction 
of the traps, when disassembled, was awful. Unless you're going to stay at 
200-300 Watts, I would discourage this approach.

73,

Joe, W1JR
