Trap Dipole for 17, 12 and 6 Metre Amateur Bands
By G3NGDThis article details the author's process of designing and building a trap dipole antenna for the 17, 12, and 6-meter amateur radio bands using a Yaesu FT-450 transceiver. The antenna incorporates parallel-tuned circuit traps to enable operation across multiple bands without switching aerials. Key construction details, including coil and capacitor specifications, are discussed, along with the testing results, which include successful long-distance communications on the 50 MHz band. The article highlights the flexibility of home-built antennas and provides insights for amateur radio enthusiasts looking to optimize multi-band performance.
