Traps work very well, can make a 40 mtr antenna into a 20 or 15 or 10 faster than you can say "Shorten the wire"
To tune with traps.. Start with the highest frequency band (10) and put up just the inner most pair of wires and traps. Adjust length of wires for best match near center of desired band.. Then do the next higest band and the next finishing with the lowest (AM broadcast band, right, only we don't check for SWR there, We just eyeball it) Ok, 160 meters
