Good separately, great together			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Here's a little different review. While both the 15/20m and 80/40/20m trapped dipoles work very well as separate products, they work even better together. By combining the central parts of the TZ-WD-1520 (KW balun, 15M wire section and 15M trap) with the "outer" sections of the TZ-WD-804020 - 20m and 40m traps you can build a dipole resonant on 15m, 20m, 40m and 80m, most importantly in a length of only 32m end-to-end. Great for those who, like me, are limited on space to erect antennas. Some cable shortening between the traps is required - specifically the wire section between the 15 and 20M traps reduces drastically, in my case down to 80-82cm. and shortening the end (80M) sections will move resonance up the 80M band if you are more interested in SSB than CW. Have fun!
