[TenTec] [Ten Tec] Bazooka antenna.. More than you wanted to know!

[GARY HUBER]

Jerry,

Does that include strong electrical noise? I thought the Double Bazooka 
design was low impedance on receive for the band it was built for while high 
impedance for all other frequencies. There are other ways to achieve similar 
results but I used this antenna on 40 M when I could not use a regular 
dipole or vertical due to high line noise.
