This looks like what i am asking for, but the picture is not very clear.
Any more details anywhere?

Hi Chuck,

I found the image he http://www.alpharubicon.com/elect/vertdipoleniet.htm
and cleaned it up -- not much more info available on that page. It's
basically a dipole turned vertical. With the feedline going thru the bottom
half and connecting at the top of that section, it becomes a "bazooka"
vertical.

There're more links to bazooka antennas he
http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Antennas/Bazooka/ I thought this construction
method: http://www.start.ca/users/ldblake/bazooka.htm was particularly
innovative. I don't think you'd need to use RG-8 as described -- just about
any 50-ohm feedline would work fine.
