So, I plan to install a 20 meter double bazooka in the attic, and such a small antenna will allow me to use an inverted V configuration, even up there. I used bazooka's 30+ years ago with success on 80 and 40 so my prejudices are running that way. Question: Does anyone out there have experience or thoughts about feeding multiple double bazooka's with a single coax line? Dave, N6PZ Hi Dave, The Double Bazooka's claim to fame was full coverage of the band of interest with a good match. With a simple wire dipole, you can not do this on 80m or 40m. Suggest you read W2DU's "Reflections II" to see why a Bazooka has a broader bandwidth. A Bazooka is not as efficient as a wire dipole on 80m and 40m, but it has bandwidth. Since you are interested in 20m up, a simple wire dipole will do everything a bazooka will, and is not nearly as difficult to construct. Especially if you are feeding multiple antennas with a single coax. Gary N4AST |
