Both approaches have significant problems:
The trap results in an inverted L that is only 25 high - very low
efficiency. The loading coil (at high power) results in high
voltage across the insulator at the bottom of the "whip" which
is a weak point (and will melt down!).
Sounds like a great design! Thanks for your usual job of exposing the
fundamental problems with poorly designed products.
