[SixClub] Double Bazooka

Fri, 12 Mar 2004 05:51:23 -0800 (PST)

Hi!

The dbazooka is made up of a 75 ohm coax line half
wave long. Without getting into much detail, It acts
like a half wave dipole and the center conductor
(after trimming) act like two 1/4 wave sections which
creates a high reactance at resonance, but decreases
as you get away from the frequency. The effect is
increased bandwidth. It is a monoband antenna. The SWR
should not be higher than 1.4:1. If the antenna is
showing high SWR, chances are that it is not cut for 6
meter.

Another name for the antenna is "Long wave coaxial
cable antenna"
