Default Is It double bazooka less noisy?

Did you A B test them under precipitation static conditions?
If not, the test was incomplete. There is obviously a charged
particle difference between a bare wire dipole and a double
bazooka. If you weren't testing using charged particles, the
test was just as obviously incomplete.

Cecil,

There is absolutely no reason to believe that one antenna is less
responsive to charged particle noise than the other. Whether or not
the antenna can accumulate a static charge is a separate issue.
