[TowerTalk] 80 meter bazooka

[Jim Brown]

Hi Tom,

No antenna having the same directional pattern that you put at the same 
spot will be quieter.  If you haven't already done so, I strongly 
suggest that you wind a good common mode choke on one or more #31 cores 
at the feedpoint (up in the air). Also, study my applications note (on 
my website) about chasing and killing receive noise, and do what you can 
about implementing the recommendations.

FWIW, the good tech comments I've seen on the Bazooka antenna is that 
it's NOT good engineering.
