[TowerTalk] HyGain T3TDK Trap Traveler Tri band rotatable dipole

[Jim Pruitt]

If anyone is interested here are some pictures of the trap opened up and the 
element that screws into it:

I did not measure the diameter of the coil form or the tube capacitor when I 
had the traps.  If anyone has any of these traps that might be salvagable 
and are willing to part with them please let me know.

Steve,  I was surprised to find the catalogs online.  I knew the T3 I am 
looking for was in the 1960 Allied catalog but as you probably saw,  that 
one is not available online but the 1961 was and it was still in that one so 
must have been available from Hygain in 1960 and 1961 as I do not think the 
trap traveler was sold very long.

Thank you.
