I built the standard bazooka ant. Add the extra wire for a Folded Bazooka and present a 300 ohm match to my feedline. As I said earlier. This puppy is hot. I knew there was a little loss due to the 75 Ohm to 300 ohm mismatch at the ant.
Feedline radiation is at an all-time minimum.
I've had my Drake TR-3 ALC at about 40 dB compression just to keep my ears from ringing. Last night my 5 watts was copied S9 from my Santa Rosa,CA QTH in Northern California to Los Angeles in the south. Apears to be about 60 percent efficient on 80 meters with the 40 meter folded Bazooka. Well, my previous dipole was unusable on 80 meters, so this is definately an improvement. I just had to share this.
