Build a Double Bazooka Antenna

  If you need a broadband, low SWR mono-band antenna, then please try this "Double Bazooka" design from Steve (W7UDI). Rather than using a single wire like a conventional dipole antenna, the double bazooka uses coaxial cable and a few stubs to attain a broad bandwith and lower swr.  This antenna finds particular favor with radio amateurs using the 75/80 meter bands. In this video, Steve (W7UDI) takes us step-by-step through the design, construction, testing, and use process of this antenna.
