[TowerTalk] bazooka antennas

[Craig Clark <jcclark@worldpath.net>]

The first bazooka article was in QST and repeated the antenna book years 
ago and was ptty much debunked in the 70's by DeMaw and crew. If I 
remember, the design came from the RADAR world but didn't translate to much 
at HF despite some of the wild claims that were made.

Frank Witt AI1H has some neat broadband antenna articles in the Antenna 
Compendiums #2, #4 that might be interesting for you to read.

Remember antenna rule #1: if it sounds too good to be true, caveat emptor!

73, Craig Clark, K1QX
