Dear friends

It is usually said (in my country) that the double bazooka antenna is
less noisy than a standard dipole.
I think that there are not good reasons that endorse such a statement
for noises coming from the far field (maybe it has some advantage with
near field noises or maybe because its frequency response cures some
pitfails of the associated receiver).

I tested an IAC double bazooka, and it is no different than a regular
dipole. It has very slightly less signal level, and very slightly more
bandwidth. Not enough to worry about. No measurable difference in
noise.

We beat bazookas to death here years ago.
Don't waste your time.
