I'll let you know.. I've only had it up a few hours. My main antenna farm consists of vertical antennas. I have no trees or tower to hang wires from.

The only tree i have is a rather beat up old walnut tree about 25 feet high. I have an off center feed dipole up in that tree..

The vertical is a Hytower and I am working on a four square for 40 meters.

A quick check shows the bazooka to be quieter than the vericals (duh!) and on par with the OCF dipole.

more later as I check..

The omni VII likes the bazooka!

Do you find the Double Bazooka to be quieter? ie. less prone to man-made
electrical noise? That's been my experience when I lived in an area with 7KV
and 13KV overhead service.
