Fernando:
I am in agreement with Ray --
Let me elaborate on the Double-Bazooka with the help of Walt Maxwell, W2DU:
In Chapter 18 (18-3) of his book entitled: "Reflections II", Walt states:
"In other words, the reduction in SWR obtained by those who use the
Double-Bazooka is from lossy resistive loading, and not from reactance
cancellation. Unfortunately, the resistive loading results in a reduction in
radiated power, power lost in heating the stubs. Thus, the users of this
antenna are trading radiated power for a lower SWR on the feedline."
I trust this information will help you make a more informed decision my
friend --
Best Regards --
