> The last few days there has been some chatter concerning the bazooka antenna. I myself have used this type of antenna now for several years and am quite pleased. One major drawback is that separate feed lines must be used for each antenna for each band worked. They are extremely broad banded and quite quiet. I have used LMR240 for my 75m antenna and have pushed over 1.5kw into it working the nets on days of bad conditions. I have tried RG213 for my 20m antenna just to see IF there was a difference. I have used RG58C/U on a 40m antenna with great results. This antenna is worth taking a look at. The 20m version will cover the entire band with less than 1.2:1 swr results. http://www.n4xy.com/PDFs/ANTs/ant_bazooka_WA4EZN.pdf
