Coaxial antennas bazooka
- Constructed using coaxial cable elements of reducing their size by exploiting the Velocity Factor of the cable, using typical 50 Ohm coax cable it might shrink an antenna to 66% its full size value

10m Bazooka, WD9N
This antenna up on my 21 foot telephone pole to test it and it has 1.5:1 SWR
The Vertical Bazooka Antenna
The antenna itself is an off-center fed vertical dipole made by flipping an electrical quarter wavelength of braid back over the outside of the coax
The Little Stick Antenna for 2 Meters, VE3VDC
Very compact, only a meter tall on 2 meters no ground radials needed fairly broad bandwidth
The Broadband Double-Bazooka
The increasing interest in usingthe coaxial dipole sometimescalled the Double-Bazooka an-tenna for its questionable in-creased bandwidth is disturbing
Building a double bazooka antenna
The double bazooka is a balanced antenna it is made of coax each branch of the antenna has 2 parts, the first part consists of a quarter-wave shorted stub made of coax
