Bazooka Antennas.  The key here is Efficiency.  The data that was
faxed to me shows that the standard double bazooka operates at about
99% efficiency and 1:1 SWR at the Center Design Frequency, nearly
Identical in performance as a dipole.  It has about 14percent greater
bandwidth and efficiency drops to about 92% at band edges on the
reference graph for the entire 80 meter band.

The antenna I would not use is the Crossed Bazooka design.  It has
a 50% better-than-dipole impedance bandwidth, but pretty much
only 80% efficient.

The standard Bazooka (Not Crossed Bazooka doublet) is just a dipole
at the design frequency and works comparably to a typical dipole.
It's efficiency remains high (abt. 92%) at its edges.

The Bazooka cannot be used on other bands due to the reflective/
reactive tuning element and its effect.  

Remember, there is a big difference between Radiation efficiency and a
SWR of 1:1.   A 50 ohm load is 1:1 and 0% efficient.  The Standard
Bazooka is 1:1 and 99+% efficient. The Snyder Dipole, DXSpecial etc,
are around 80% efficient.  So I'll give the Bazooka a try.

Not a magic antenna, for sure.  Just efficient enough to pull
my ant. tuner out of the line.

We'll see if I still get the Foxii.
