Bazooka dipole.
Looking to do some re-work of my antennas just as soon as the weather improves, I wonder if anyone has tried the 'Bazooka" dipole?
http://webclass.org/k5ijb/antennas/B...le-antenna.htm http://www.hamuniverse.com/bazooka.html It looks interesting, I'd be intending to try it on 5MHz.

Re: Bazooka dipole.
It reminds me of a coaxial collinear monopole I tried unsuccessfully to build for 2m years ago. The design was attributed to Alan Blumlein.

Re: Bazooka dipole.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Those co-linears made from coax with the inner and outer swap overs never worked at all for me. Absolutely hopeless. It was for VHF/UHF I admit. I could never reconcile that inside a quarter/half wave or whatever is 66% short due to the velocity factor yet somehow on the outside that did not matter. Er? |
