#failwhale got the best of me while I make only 1 CW contact on Barnett Knob in South Carolina before I was chased off the summit by rain.
This is the one you’ve been waiting for – the traps to go with the micro End Fed Halfwave (EFHW) antenna build. Here’s how to make them.
These traps will work with my Ultimate Ultralight EFHW (https://youtu.be/s-_LyhdGapM) or just about any QRP end-fed halfwave antenna, and you could even build pairs to use with a dipole.
LINKS:
– LC Resonance Calculator: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/resonant-frequency-LC
– Toroid Winding Calculator: http://www.66pacific.com/calculators/toroid-coil-winding-calculator.aspx
You’ll certainly need some MATERIALS:
– T37-2 Toroids (my usual): https://amzn.to/3hFsYlj
– T50-2 Toroids (a little more efficient and maybe easier to build): https://amzn.to/2QCkGio
– 28 ga Magnet Wire: https://amzn.to/3b9Isf4
– 39pF 100v Ceramic Capacitor (0603 case recommended): https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/kemet/C0603C390J1GACAUTO/399-15862-1-ND/7516362
– 62pF 100v Ceramic Capacitor (0603 case recommended): https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/kemet/C0603C620J1GAC7867/399-14992-1-ND/7382541
NOTE: Consider a few other capacitors in the 22pF – 100pF range, depending on the traps you’d like to build.
– Perforated Prototype Board: https://amzn.to/2YLsFOJ
– 5/8″ Heat Shrink Tubing: https://amzn.to/3lwwGjt
– 1/4″ Heat Shrink Tubing: https://amzn.to/2G9bGzk
And you’ll need some TOOLS:
– Dremel (or similar)high-speed rotary tool: https://amzn.to/3gFEkEL
NOTE: I have had my Dremel tool for about 25 years now and it hasn’t missed a beat. Based on my personal experience, I would recommend going with the name brand tool.
– Diamond Cutting Wheels: https://amzn.to/2QBRHve
NOTE: I really like these because you can’t cut yourself with them, but they cut the perf board and BNC connector brass just fine.
– Soldering Iron (any will do) with a fine tip: https://amzn.to/2GaENlN
NOTE: I’ve been using this one for about a year with no issues. The heat gun is AWESOME for hot air/solder paste construction. The iron works well for traditional soldering.
– Electronics Tweezer Set: https://amzn.to/2ENy00w
Please share your builds with me when you’re done, and tell us about how it works out for you in the comments below.
Thanks!

Porch Stairs Build Highlights
Let’s take a look at how I rebuilt the stairs (steps) on my porch. I’m not a carpenter by trade so this is not really a How-To video, but more of a how I did it video. My goal is to show what I did for education, inspiration, and entertainment purposes.
