sounds like a regular dipole will do the same for less
always interesting to see different designs and opinions tho!!

My study of a typical Double Bazooka antenna system athttp://www.vk1od.net/DoubleBazooka/index.htmindicates that although it

a conventional dipole.



I believe Walter Maxwell also wrote an article about that a few years
back.
There is no free lunch with the double bazookas. I don't use them
myself.
Not so much because of the slight extra loss, more that coax weighs
too much to use as antenna wire unless you have really strong
supports.
Regular wire is also a good bit cheaper. :/
