Mike you once said in a video you made talking about tools, “I don’t need a fluke I am an amateur”. Brother this is why you’re not an “amateur” the way people think about it. The trip through the rabbit hole is beautiful, now you own it. What makes it great, you’re sharing it. Your deep dive on the subject and the fact you're sharing what you learned, this collaboration is what I love about being an member of Amateur Radio. Great Job!

Another disadvantage of using traps is narrow bandwidth of target frequency.

I didn't go that far down the rabbit hole before I decided on sticking with resonate antennas. Was great hearing your take. 73 K9WWW

Learned a lot from this video besides the original trap question. Thanks! And even althoughyou stopped mailback monday, from the older episodes one can still learn a lot. Thank you so much, 73!

I swear I saw Alice, White Rabbit, and the Madd Hatter and everyone else. You might have hit China digging that hole. But I did learn a lot <br>Thanks Mike

What an amazing video. I have not (yet) tried to build a trapped dipole or EFHW but have thought about it. I did NOT KNOW (but should have) that adding the trap will add inductance for the band(s) below the trap frequency and therefore make those lengths shorter. Great stuff as always Mike. <br>-Rick K8DOJ

I sure do like my tuner. I can throw up that EFHW and push a button for each band I work! You have talked me out of building traps!
