I was just reading REFLECTIONS and found that double bazooka antennas are broadband because they are lossy. For maximum generated field strength you will do better with a plain dipole, with higher SWR on the feedline at the extremes of the band, and a tuner.

bazooka made of coax works very well, is quieter than a vertical or a open
wire dipole and more broadbanded than either.
