[TowerTalk] HY-GAIN MK-160 40 meter trap for 18-HT tower to operate 160 meters

[Allen Brier N5XZ]

Does anyone have experience with using this trap on a 18-HT? I am concerned
with the method of attachment to the tower. It is a solid mechanical
connection with no allowance for movement. Seems like a poor idea. My idea
is to attach the trap with a flexible wire or rope, then adding a strap from
the tower to the trap. Any input from the members?
