[Towertalk] double bazooka

> I heard about the Double Bazooka, which is supposed to have some gain.

Hi Ted,

A few years ago someone from this reflector sent me an IAC Double 
Bazooka to test. 

Despite fantastic performance claims the Bazooka has about the same 
bandwidth as a regular wire dipole, is not any quieter, and has what 
would probably be an unnoticable reduction in gain.

 As a matter of fact what I measured agreed very closely with the 
theoretical predictions published in the ARRL Handbook.
