Sometimes the manufacturers just don't think things through.

Last July, a ham gave me an old Mosley TA-33jr beam that he's had stored since he came back East. The traps had all been color-coded. Unfortunatley, over time (in the air at the original owner's QTH and then at his before he moved) the color codes have all faded.

Just what I needed... another project.

Your best bet might be to find someone who has that same antenna down on the ground for maintenance or storage, and see if they can let you take measurements on their traps.
