Hello, don't really know a thing about antenna traps except they isolate parts of an antenna and there a parallel resonant circuit that uses an inductor and a capacitor. I will read up more on them.
I'm wondering if I could use a receiving/transmitting 11 meters antenna along with a antenna trap to reduce the length of the antenna by cutting off about a foot of the end of the antenna, that way I could use the same antenna on 10 meters as well?
It would be a mobile dipole antenna 1/4 of a wavelength.
If that's how traps work then couldn't a person use say some type of slider trap on say a full wavelength 1MHz antenna and get it resonant on every band above it?
