DL9MEU Antenna projects - Basics for a good Antenna:``Only if you can hear it, you can work it!``Symmetric antennas save a lot of trouble.``No traps - no radials - no loading coils.

KK5BL How To Build A G5RV Antenna  ^pop - How to build a G5RV Transmitting antenna Originally posted to the packet bbs system by KC6CFF. The G5RV is an easy-to-build 80-10 dipole requiring no traps. All bands are covered, including 30, 17, and 12. The G5RV has high SWR, by design, on most bands and a tuner is required

Dipole for 40 meters - Shortened dipole with traps for 40 meters band in portuguese

Wire antenna with coaxial cable traps - This multiband antenna 10-80 meters is a home made project by I1BAY. Has been used for SOTA activations with great results. Traps are done with coax cable turns, dimensions are in the attached schema.

An Improved Multiband Trap Dipole Antenna - This improved multiband trap dipole introduces a new trap design and a change in trap location. The antenna features double-coaxial-cable-wound traps having lower reactance and a higher quality factor (Q) than earlier coax-cable traps by W8NX

Coaxial Traps for multiband antennas - A new perspective on the analysis and design of this popular antenna element. By Karl-Otto Müller, DG1MFT

Building Coaxial Traps - This page describes the design and construction materials W8WWV used to build a coaxial cable trap. A coaxial cable trap is a parallel resonant circuit that is usually inserted in an antenna element to enable multiband operation.

Multi Band Antenna Traps - These devices are called Traps, but they are actually more like frequency sensitive switches. They are parallel resonant, high Q, tuned circuits which provide a very high impedance at their frequency of resonance.

Trapped antennas - ARRL index of document about trapped antennas and notes on traps usage

VE6YP CoaxTrap - The Coax trap program computes design parameters for the construction of coaxial traps for HF usage. Typically these are constructed from PVC tube and RG58/59 coax

Coax Traps from a Modeling Perspective - About Coax Traps, NC4FB examine the operation of coax traps through modeling.

R7 Vertical Maintenance and Repair - How repair the traps, and then homebrew the rest of the antenna, including the matching box

Troubleshooting Traps - This article refers mainly to the old Cushcraft 1/4 wavelength AV series of antennas (12AVQ, 14AVQ etc) hence the references to radials. The R series (R5, R7 etc) are 1/2 wavelength antennas, and the radials are NOT 1/4 wavelength resonant.
